Wildlife Society’s Beast Feast featured a night of tasty meals foreign to everyone’s taste buds, courtesy of nature’s denizens. Simultaneously, it joined families and friends together and greatly represented what the Wildlife Society is all about.   Upon entering, everyone was greeted with the salivating smell of what was to come as they took their seats.   Tables were decorated with centerpieces crafted from flair grabbed straight from the great outdoors: pinecones, log pieces, animal skulls, and more. These remnants of nature spoke to its southern guests, sparking conversation about good times in the rural south, whether it be hunting trips, fishing in the lake, or enjoying nature– everything that makes an extrovert.
