Dear Members,

If you would like to have your photo with your quarry (harvest) uploaded to our website, please send them to Nicole Hewson, our Club Secretary by email @ ShawangunkBODSecretary@gmail.com She is assisting Andrew Olesh, your Huntmaster, with completing our Hunting and Game page. Thank You. It would be nice to showcase the wonderful times and experiences you've had at our club.

FISHING/POND COMMITTEE UPDATES:

Dear Members, Please be advised of the following information:

At our June 22nd Monthly Membership Meeting, our Membership unanimously passed a Resolution that two fishing poles are allowed per person fishing.

Our club does not allow for the hunting of snapping turtles on our property because the New York State Law only allows the harvesting of snapping turtles during hunting season by use of firearm or bow. Our pond is in too close of a proximity to residential housing so this practice is prohibited due to the unsafe situation it would cause. Harvesting snapping turtles by any other means would be a violation of New York State Law, therefore it is not allowed on our property.

Fishing Members are only allowed up to 2 guests at a time. This does not apply to Family Memberships. All members who are fishing must sign in and sign out and complete all of the information including guests filling out and signing waivers and placing them in the envelopes provided. If the envelopes have run out, they can also be found at Range #5. The Fishing/Pond Committee Chair, Brian Barker must have a record of what you caught and released to keep a record of the number of the fish in the pond, and to maintain the biological integrity of the pond.

Thank you for your participation and compliance.

TRAP COMMITTEE UPDATED HOURS:
Trap Committee Member, Craig Manning, has indicated that the Trap Range hours have changed.

The Trap Range is Open:

Wednesday and Friday Evenings from 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M

Sunday Afternoons from Noon 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M.

The Trap Range is no longer open on Saturdays.
