FFA team wins first in wildlife management
The team members also competed in individual events. Justin Wilkerson participated in general wildlife identification, Jason Gentry placed third in boating regulations and aquatic identification, Cody Aycock placed third in the whitetail deer measurement, and Heath Busby placed first in wild turkey identification. Alternates were Tasha Buckhalter, Patrick White, Matthew Pullen and Robert Doswell. The ninth grade junior team also performed extremely well. Drew Harrell placed first in junior general wildlife identification, Kolin Pyle placed first in junior boating regulations and aquatic identification and Aaron Harrell placed second in junior whitetail deer measurement. Both teams were also required to complete a general knowledge test. All four team members worked together as a team and discussed questions to come up with solutions. The multiple choice test questions focused on Georgia hunting, fishing and boating safety regulations. The wildlife management career development event is an activity that provides opportunities for FFA members to demonstrate their technical and management skills relating to wildlife, habitat and harvesting regulations. The purpose of the wildlife management CDE is to stimulate student interest and to promote wildlife management instruction in the agricultural education curriculum, and to provide recognition for those who have demonstrated skills and competencies as a result of instruction in wildlife management, forestry and natural resource management. FFA is a national organization of over 449,000 members preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. FFA is an integral part of the agricultural education program in public schools. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
Kitty Simmons and Larry Worsley are the Early County FFA advisors. The wildlife management career development event is sponsored by Three Rivers Quail Unlimited.
