CLUB UPDATES FOR 2010-2011SEASON!!!! PLEASE READ
DUES FOR THE 2011-12 SEASON are $530. 00 We're looking for new members for the upcoming season, so if you know of anyone interested in joining, please pass along my name and number to them, We have ONE rule change for the upcoming season, we're going to keep the rule of two does AND the 90lb weight rule at least one more year. -------UPDATE------ Guys, we've had a good fawn survival rate this spring, so, we'll keep the two doe rule BUT making Dec BUCK ONLY our herds in better condition than I first thought it was, with the coyote numbers way down our deer are back to moving and acting like deer again instead of lunch. We've hit the coyotes hard I've done a good bit of reading on them and it sounds as if they're here to stay and all we can do is control them. More on this soon. we have 5.0 square miles leased and I need everyone to help to police the area and support the rules, using numbered decals we shouldn't have a problem in finding out whose serious about supporting our club and whose not. One other thing, we will have a "gut pile dump" from now on. Thanks Steve
Guys, It's that time of year again, LOTS of changes and all for the good. We now have appox 220 acres of new select cut to hunt, I've sprayed the plots that'll be replanted this Aug-Sept with WI "Double Cross" and a NWTF Alfafa blend one rules change, our harvest as been down the last two years, its been recommended and I fully agree, that we stay with the TWO doe limit with a 90lb weight limit on them and make Dec Buck only. we increased the herd before doing this and its needed again. I know of 20 coyotes killed during hunting season and MR W brought in a trapper that caught about the same number, He has permission to trap all 5200 acres of the owners land, so if you see a coyote in a trap leave it alone the trapper runs his lines daily.
Locks on the Gates!!!
For all of the members of the club, you all know what a thorn in the side the locks getting stole, cut off, and etc. has become for us. I want to make sure that we are not forgetting to put the locks back up on the gates once we've opened them. Nobody hates having to have the roads cabled off worse than I do and having to fool with locks, but without them we're inviting in poachers and joyriders. The Army Corps of Engineers who owns the land the WMA is on has taken a interest in the joy riders and I understand the fines are appox 500.00 on dirt bikes and some fines over 2000.00 have been paid by the "monster" trucks. I hope this link works, its the TV report concerning this http://www.wsbtv.com/video/17384017/index.html
CAMPERS AND STANDS ON THE CLUB!!! PLEASE READ....... I'm happy to report that two arrest have been made and our thiefs have dropped a bunch. Our position on this matter is the following: THE CLUB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY FORM OR FASHION WITH PERSONAL BELONGINGS INCLUDING CAMPERS, STANDS, ATVS, OR ETC. If you choose to leave your stand in the woods hanging on a tree, you do this at your own risk. If you choose to park your camper on the club, make sure the camper has all valuable items removed if you are not planning on returning frequently. while I can't promise you no more thief's I do believe the ones doing the most of it in our area have been caught. The sherriffs dept is now patroling the area so please use good judgement on your personal effects........ Thanks. Make sure your decals are displayed, the officers are checking for them.
