DAVENPORT—The Lincoln County Assessor’s Office has completed property revaluations for the Davenport area, and some locals are concerned that the skyrocketing value of their home will lead to a large impact on their taxes.

Many big game, small game and bird hunts began Sept. 1, while others begin later in the month or into October.
