DNR biologist presented with national lifetime award
Indiana Department of Natural Resources biologist Steve Backs, who has been intimately involved with the restoration of the state’s wild turkey population, was recently presented with a lifetime achievement award by the National Wild Turkey Federation at its national convention.
Backs, a member of the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife, was one of two men receiving the Federation’s Wayne Bailey Lifetime Achievement Award.
