All those interested in sharing their vision and their voice on how to make Grant County a better place are invited to participate in the “Grant County Community Assessment Survey” that is taking place throughout the month of October. The survey will help update data about Grant County by identifying the needs of the community by community members. The information obtained will allow the county to build a plan that provides the community with a common voice, provide data and information that will be available for everyone to use to build support for more services and resources, provide recommendations that community leaders can use to create policy changes that benefit Grant County and will help to develop strategies that agencies and community leaders can use to bring in more resources. For more information and to fill out the survey, go to website.

The New Mexico Game and Fish Department has a “Mentor-Youth Hunter” program that allows hunters that are 8-17 years of age and do not have a hunter education number to obtain one by taking an online quiz. This number will enable youth to hunt under the supervision of an adult mentor and allows youth hunters to hunt small game. Mentor-youth hunters who are 10 to 17 years of age may apply for a hunting license for deer, pronghorn, turkey, javelina and small game. When the mentor-youth hunter has completed the program and successfully passes a hunter education course, the hunter will be able to hunt any legal species independently with no age restrictions. For more information about the program, visit the website.
