There was no meeting last month, so there is nothing to report in this area! The September meeting will be on the 8^th at the usual time and place. I will be elk hunting, as will Jim O’Kelly, so Paul Farina will be running the meeting…

The election committee will be formed at the September meeting. President, Vice President, Secretary/Treasurer, Range Captain and Director positions will be open. Contact Paul Farina for nominations, he will be putting together a ballot after the September meeting.

So far, we know that:

Kelly Dean, Jim O’Kelly, Heather Campolieti want to remain in their positions. President, Vice President and Secretary come up for election every year, if you have any nominations for these offices, please get them to Paul Farina. Paul does not wish to remain as the Range Captain, so we will need nominations for that position, as well as for Director. We will clarify which director spots are open at the September meeting (on the 8^th!)

Dale Taylor has expressed interest in the Range Captain position and Brian Guerrero in possibly a director’s spot…

Financial-

In the last meeting the board discussed the issue of us putting our full financial statement in the newsletter, since it now has pretty wide distribution. It was decided that we will no longer put the full financial statement out, members wanting to know how much we have can come to the meeting or call the secretary.

We have had no major expenses since the last meeting.

We still have a few current members who have not sent their dues in, please do so, then we don’t have to mail out envelopes again (costly, which we could use to buy more targets, etc…)

Out on the Range

The Lemmon Valley Range remains open to members and the general public every day, via the lower parking lot and walk over gate. There are 28 bail butts available for shooting. Please leave the range clean! Remember, if you are a member and you want the combination to the lock, contact either Paul Farina or Kelly Dean.

We had the best of intentions, but the Members only round still did not get set up.

Last month I talked about the Luminock or Tracer nock… As of my last best information, NDOW has not come out with an official written policy yet…

Remember- Legal shooting times for big game are ½ hour before sunrise to sunset

( the ½ hour after sunset rule has gone away)

Question- Since Dove season just opened, what are the legal shooting hours for them?

BLM has added several new wilderness areas in game areas 221, 222, 115, 121, 111 & 114. One of the provisions of the wilderness areas is that there is no vehicular travel. This includes no motorized vehicles and no bicycles. It also INCLUDES no hand drawn game carts!

I have already heard that Scotty Green got a nice antelope that scored in the high 70’s, Eric Strobel also got a nice antelope that he spined on the first shot.. Paul Farina missed a buck in the Monitors, but got a nice blacktail in California, Brian Guerrero got an antelope, his first bow kill, and is now out after deer. Even Kelly Dean got a little buck in the Rubies ( it was his first kill with a compound bow, yes I know, the traditional archers are disappointed) I have seen a number of photos appearing on the walls, let us know about the stories so we can share!…KD
