NOTICE

Due to the clubs inability to work with the Game Commission this Year, we will be unable to provide a Hunter Safety course to the public and our members.

This is a sad day for youth of our state when we cannot offer this course because of the game commission’s inaction. We hope to have this problem resolved next year so keep in touch.
