BROAD MOUNTAIN HUNTING CLUB

Just got word that the March 7, 2018 club meeting is cancelled.   Do to the amount of snow in the forcast. See you all at April’s  meeting.  Enjoy the snow.

February  meeting is canceld do to the weather conditions  they are calling for and the mountain  already has snow on it.  We will see ya next meeting in march 7th at 7 pm

With new board of directors  comes changes.  If you  want to be heard or have concerns  for what goes on at BMHC,     YOU as a member NEED TO ATTEND. FEBRUARY  7TH  at 7pm this is a Wednesday. 

Why,  should you attend this meeting? The directors  want to limit the number of tree stands a member  can have. They want your input on what you feel would be the correct number.  To do so you need to attend February 7th meeting.  If you do not voice your concern or number at this meeting, you lost your chance.  After February club meeting members who didn’t attend can’t complain about the decision that is made by the directors.  YES WE UNDERSTAND  some can not make meetings so   you may email cindy at cindygarverlmt@comcast.net  if you absolutely CAN NOT make meeting with your number for stands or any other concerns just for this meeting.

Name tags on treestands still need to be placed by MAY 1st or your stands will be removed  by directors.

The new directors want to make the club better, they want to hear your concerns or changes you would like seen as a member.  If you do not come to meetings you are not heard.  The board could of made a number for stands at January’s  meeting but there was only 10 members who attened.  So to be fair to all members they are holding off till February’s  meeting to see what  members who did no make last meeting have to say.  I thank the board for that decision to give members a chance to be heard.

Please pass this information to  other members.

To the persons that decided to be a real sportsman like, and took my camera and tossed it and than took my straps and camera card thank you. I have had my stand there for 10 years and never any issues.  Give back card and straps. I have never messed with anyone’s stuff and if I did walk by your camera never even touched camera.  I hope this is just a once and done issue. If anyone else is having same issue let us know. I don’t get up often so very disappointed about this now I can’t see what was happening for the past 3 months. Usually nothing anyway just like that spot.

There will be no haunted hayride or walk thru for 2017. Do to members not having any interest in helping set up or help in the nights of the hayride.   There was only a few who wanted to do the haunt we thank you but we need more members to help.  I would like to thank  all whom have helped in the past for your time and energy  for doing the hay ride in the past.

Only kids  may shot a buck and a doe ON THE LEASE.

Only if you have been a member for 5 years and are a senior  licenses holder may you shoot a doe anywhere on the lease.  BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN A BUCK. ONCE YOU SHOOT A DOE YOU MAY NOT SHOOT  A BUCK. OR IF YOU HAVE SHOT  A BUCK  YOU MAY NOT TAKE A DOE ON LEASE.

AS A MEMBER SINGLE OR FAMILY, once you have shot a buck you may not take a doe.  As a family you each may take a buck but if one of your family would shoot a doe they now can not take a buck and NO ONE ELSE IN YOUR FAMILY CAN TAKE A DOE.

Anyone may take a doe in the hollow this season.  Please remember  once you take a doe YOU MAY NOT TAKE A BUCK. Unless your name was pulled for the doe raffle.

We have a long standing commitment to the community  to clean up the roads that are around our lease and it is that time again to have it cleaned up.   We also need to get no tresspassing posters up that help let others know they are on our leased land.  HUNTING TIME IS THE MAJOR CONCERN to get this done.  So your help is needed on September  17, 2017 at 8:00 am.  We will meet at the club house to see how many of our members show to help out.  We also will need firewood cut for the club house to be stacked outside by club house.  So if you have a chain saw please bring it to help out.  Please let us know asap if you will be making the work detail  call 717-442-4531  let Cindy a message that you are coming. Thank you for your support.
