General Meeting:  October 21, 2008   7:00pm                                     Steel Workers Hall – 180 Rock Island Road – East Wenatchee

 

Meat Coolers:  As we move into the cooler weather it stimulates our hunting desires to locate and bag big game animals.  We again put out the request for donated wild game meat.  Contact Ron Bruno at (884-9369 or 679-9076).  We also have coolers available at Ron’s and at Neil Fulwiler’s (663-9076) and George Komro (884-5359)

 

Exotic Game Meat:  On a prearranged approval, the Sportsman’s Association will purchase exotic wild game meat from an individual.  This has been done on game meat flown in from a distant place. We pay the freight only on the amount of meat needed, which is usually around 40 to 60 lbs.

 

Committee Meetings:  It is that time of the year when we need to start thinking of the 2009 Game Feed.  Thus Gene Robards at (662-6277) has started scheduling such meetings.  The first one was held Oct. 7 and others will be coming up.  Your help is needed and appreciated.  Give Gene a call if interested in helping.

   

Work Parties:  With the hunting season upon us, work parties have been put on hold until the first of November.  There is a feeder to be built, feeders to fill and a little road brushing to do.  There is a major bitterbrush planting scheduled for Oct. 25th on Birch Mountain.  We will meet at the Department Office at 7:30am Saturday the 25th.  Contact Ron Poppe (662-3957) or Bill Stegeman (663-7529 or 393-9528) if you can help.

 

Department Report:  We don’t have anything of major interest that should be printed in the newsletter at this time.  So, always read and understand the regulations, seek to hunt on and respect private property.  Always keep camp fires under control if they are allowed.

 

Volunteers:  Continue to record your volunteer miles and hours and pass them on to Ron Poppe (662-3957).  As of September 22 volunteers have donated 4,300 hours to the Department.  Those seeking “Master Hunter” hours contact Ron Poppe.

 

Money Spent:  The membership voted at the September meeting to purchase a portable water pump for club use and a dart gun for our local enforcement personnel.  We had one stipulation and that being the dart gun be used in this area only.

 

Help Needed:  There is a need for one or more members to help solicit donations for our game feed in February.  You can contact Gene Robards at (662-6277).

 

October Program:  Ron Fox will give a report on the Bebee Springs project.

 

 

HAVE A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL HUNTING SEASON THIS FALL AND WINTER
