Turkey Hunt Alert!!:A REMINDER!! - The Wenatchee Sportsmen Association and the "C.W. Boss Toms" (NWTF) are requesting all turkey hunters NOT TO HUNT turkeys that have been released in Chelan and northern Kittitas Counties. Please discourage other hunters from hunting them in our area also. We need to give them two more years to get established. Most hunters travel to Lincoln or Stevens counties. Bob Perleberg and Bureau of Land Management on Walla Walla St. have maps of public lands in both of those counties.
Nomination of Officers:Nomination of officers is coming up in April and elections are in May. SO, be thinking of those you think would do a fine job of running the club for the next year. If you don't want to be nominated best you be at the April meeting.
Initiative 713:Despite all of the lobbying by members of Washingtonians For Wildlife Conservation, I-713 (animal trapping) failed to render enough votes in Olympia to reverse the voter approved law. The above group is having their annual banquet and auction Saturday, June 8th in Puyallup. For more information contact Mike Sprague at 782-5029.
Department Report:Bob Perleberg reports ---- all hunting and fishing licenses expire March 31st. New licenses and tags can be purchased now; however, special permits can't be purchased until after the new hunting pamphlet arrives around May 1st. New fishing pamphlets arrive in late April. General lowland lakes open April 27th. Your "Wild I.D. number" is all that is needed to purchase a new license --- UNLESS you were one of the 25% who didn't report your hunting results last fall. New license purchases may be done by phone, computer or in person.
Hamburger Special:If you show the owners at Jitters and Shakes your current (2002) Wenatchee Sportsman's Association membership card they will give you two burgers for the price of one. They are located on the eastside of 3rd St and Rock Island Road in East Wenatchee. If you have questions contact Ron Bruno at 884-9369.
Help Still Needed:We did not get any takers who will work on logging hours worked and miles driven for this year. If interested please give Bill Stegeman a call 663-7529.
Spring Projects:There are some spring projects coming up soon, along with other activities. We will keep you posted. Also, we have a lot of club history that one of our members should be capitalizing on and recording for future use. Please help if you can.
Program:Beau Patterson, our new biologist, will be our program. He will introduce himself and share some things with the group and then field any questions we may have.
Membership:Still time to renew your membership or invite a new member to join, contact Ron Bruno at 884-9369 so you can get your membership updated. It can also be done via our website at www.ncwoutdoors.com
