Steve Carney: An unexpected lighting system success for the duck boat
I finally found time to enhance my duck boat lighting system, but it was a real chore. I started with some UTV light bars, and it took me several hours to attach them with a 2X4 board. Then, after a morning duck hunt, I found myself disappointed in the range of the beam.

At press time, the incident was still considered isolated. While not detected in wild deer in the area, state officials are taking measures to test local wild deer herds for the debilitating disease that is fatal to white-tailed deer, and are prepared for more extreme measures should they be deemed warranted.
