Updated Chapter News
The 2011 Fall Fun
Shoot held in August
at Oakwood Gun Club
brought out 89
shooters on the
Sporting Clay Course
with several more
participating in the
various Fun Shoot
stations. The
weather cooperated
and all had an
enjoyable day.
Thanks to the
supporters of the
event and WUSA
members/families who
worked to make this
year’s shoot a
success.
Dove hunts on the
Robert’ s property
had good wing
shooting early
despite scorching
heat but soon
changed as did the
weather. Only 2 of
the originally
planned 3 fields
could be hunted this
year due to wet
spring conditions
which prevented the
planting of
sunflowers in the
West field.
Applications for the
2011 Horicon Marsh
Goose Hunt closed
August 1, 2011, with
42 hunters signing
up plus our Wounded
Warrior and Hunt of
a Lifetime guests
bringing the total
to 46 who will take
to the fields in the
Waupun, WI area this
October. The WI DNR
has issued 6 goose
tags this year for
all Horicon Zone
applicants.
The Chapter had
solicited wish lists
from the IN DNR
property site
managers in the area
for which we could
contribute to
financially as state
conservation budgets
are obviously at
“bare bones” given
the current economic
situation. The
Board will review
the submitted
requests to select
those projects best
in line with the
WUSA wetland
preservation
objectives.
John Jelinek is
currently recording
the names of the
“Woodie” youth
members interested
in participating in
waterfowl and deer
hunts on our Jerry
Allen Marsh
property. Please
refer to the Youth
Section of the
website for
additional
information.
