Getting our ducks in a row.

The officers and some of the club members have always known that we needed to be prepared when it came time to purchase land for the club’s future. That time has arrived. As most of you probably have heard the land by Hominy was not exactly what we were looking for so we continue our search. After sitting down with an attorney, I had a better idea of what we needed to have and be prepared. Neighbors, water, electricity, roads, easements, taxes, insurance and a public accountant, just to name a few. The one thing I do feel great about is the clubs enthusiasm to get this all accomplished, so we will have a future for our club. We have put together a letter of intent with a card for you to send back to us. Please do so as soon as possible so that we will have a better idea of where all the club members stand on this issue. Thanks for your support.

As the summer heats up and the anticipation of bird season gets stronger, you need to be watching the bird count reports from the different parts of Oklahoma and other states. Right now the panhandle is having a drought; they have not had any of the rain that we have had. Bird counts maybe down out there. The other end of that scale is Iowa, too much rain and flooding may have washed out the birds. Just a little heads up might make or break your success this fall. I anticipate that the fields will be less populated with hunters because of the gas prices. Some hunters will not be willing to go hunting as far as often, but still going for the opener with more guys to share the cost.

NO MEETING JUNE OR JULY

Sunday shoots are going strong, with 20 plus guys and gals attending. The wind is a great excuse for not hitting everything you shoot at. I have found it works anyway. Thanks to all the guys that have stepped forward to be the range masters in the past weeks, sure make things a lot easier.

Dog Care, Fresh Water, Fresh Water and Fresh Water!
