FROM THE PRESIDENT. WINTER INDOOR ARCHERY Tuesdays in the Clubhouse. March 2018

Transcription

1 March 2018 FROM THE PRESIDENT By: Galen Mauden, President As you will note in this issue of the Puffs, we lost a very dear life member in March. Walt Watkins passed away at home. A memorial service was held at the Mason s Lodge in Fall City March 18 th. Walt will be sorely missed by all that new him. Please see the article later in this issue of the Puffs. Our March Boars Head shoot was a real success. We had about 130 shooters, unfortunately, most of them were one-day. We were competing with KBH and Tacoma Sportsmen that weekend. This shoot, we reintroduced the sale of mulligans. They were a hit with shooters and we sold about 54. The bow raffle also sold 20 tickets. I heard a lot of compliments about the set up. Many thanks to those who helped set up and take down the shoot, worked the cook shack and registration. We can always use more help setting up and working the shoot. The Redding Warmup is coming up in April, please volunteer to help-out. Jim and I have been working on the targets that need repair, we are already up to almost 100. They have been prepped and are ready to pour, all we need is a stretch of warm weather so the targets can reach 70 degrees. Last year we had to wait until the end of June which meant a lot of work in a short period of time. If you are interested in helping-out and learning how to do the patching, please let myself or Jim Walker know. It is persnickety work and must be done correctly or the targets become a gooey mess. We will also be rebuilding the polar bear this year in time for Bownanza. A couple of years ago, it seems someone tried to put the bear away by themselves by pulling on the arms. Unfortunately, that did severe damage to the arms and shoulders, that s why the polar bear hasn t been at Bownanza for a couple of years. Enjoy the club, have fun, and shoot straight! BOARD MEETING REMINDER The April Board meeting will be held at 6:30 PM on April 12th at the Neuwaukum Grange Hall, th Ave. SE, Auburn, WA All CRB members are welcome!

WINTER INDOOR ARCHERY Tuesdays in the Clubhouse 6:00pm Potluck Social 6:45pm Shooting Begins Indoor league is going on now! Come join us for some friendship, food and some friendly competition. A great time is had by all! This is an Open House event, if you have family or friends that want to try shooting or just watch, bring them along.

2 When the Club had to move to the current location, Walt brought his horse trailer and made many trips moving equipment and targets to the new location. Walter Wallace Watkins December March By Jim Walker and Dave Garrison Cedar River Bowmen has lost a valued and loved long-time member. Walt first joined CRB in 1979, and from the very start, was a hard working member. If anything needed doing, Walt was always there to step up, a trait hard to be found nowadays. He served on the Board of Directors and was for many years, the Puffs Editor. He prefabricated the Cook Shack and helped assemble it. He brought out his tractor with the auger and drilled holes for all the target butt posts. He was always there for the bale-pressing work parties, which all the new members never had to experience since we got the carpet bales. Pressing the stubble bales was no easy task and more than a lot of work considering we had 210 bales throughout the range plus 36 in the Clubhouse. When the Club was in Issaquah, he provided mowing of the range (since the Club did not have a large mower) and also grading of the entrance road. Through his dedication and hard work in Issaquah, Walt was nominated and voted in as a Life Member.

3 He was very instrumental in the layout and fabrication of the Clubhouse and he used his tractor to pre-level the floor before the concrete was poured. He also helped clear the trails and the camping area for D course. When we switched to the heavy (550#) carpet bales, he brought out his tractor again and hauled the bales out onto the courses. Around the Club, he was always working, except for at lunch and a 15 minute nap that was mandatory at every work party as far as Walt was concerned. banquet or party. When we started the Tuesday night indoor league he was there every week with Boletta s dessert for the potluck. At one of our annual banquets, Walt won the historic and prestigious Boob Award. (The Boob Award it is given to a member who has gone above and beyond the call of a "brain freeze"; something silly, funny or ridiculous that a Club member has done. It doesn t necessarily need to be archery related.) He accepted the award with great delight and honor as he knew he deserved it for taking the row boat onto our pond armed with only a 2X4 (since he couldn t find the oars) and proceeded to go nowhere but spin round and round like a top on the pond. He was also presented the Golden Paddle Award (LOL) for these antics. He was the one to start using the computer and projector so we could view the scores as the night progressed. Anytime fun was happening, Walt was there too. Walt was a dedicated hunter and fisherman and was always getting someone to go on a trip to hunt or fish. Walt archery hunted for elk with club members in Washington and Oregon and was successful on two elk. He always wanted another and had a few chances, but something always went wrong. He hunted right up to the last year when he could no longer pull his bow, but he still came out with the weekly breakfast group and to the work parties. Walt will be missed by the entire Club, but he will never be forgotten by his many, many friends. Thank you Walt for being a big part of CRB, for sharing with us: your values, your stories, your hard work, your smile, your laugh, and most importantly for being our friend. All this makes it seem that Walt was all about working but he was also all about the fun and fellowship of the Club. When asked How are you doing Walt, He d say something like, Ornery, irritable, grouchy, and cantankerous! followed with a huge smile and a loud laugh. He also was a story teller, whether it was from his military service, horseback trips, camping, hunting, fishing, or life in general. Walt also spoke his mind, whether you liked what he had to say or not. He seldom missed any of our shoots at the Club. Boletta and Walt were also there for every picnic,

Salvaging road-killed deer and elk Effective July 1, 2016, a new rule adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission allows people to legally salvage deer and elk carcasses in the state. Nearly 20 other states have adopted similar rules. The rule specifically applies to deer and elk killed by motor vehicles. Only elk not deer may be salvaged in Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties, because federal laws prohibit handling endangered Columbian white-tailed deer in southwest Washington. Anyone who takes possession of a deer or elk carcass must obtain a free, printable permit from WDFW within 24 hours. The permittee must then keep a hardcopy of the signed and dated salvage permit with the meat until all of the edible parts are consumed. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife does not guarantee that salvaged meat is fit for consumption, and encourages those planning to salvage deer and elk carcasses to review its Wild Game Meat Food Safety information. The new salvage rule also does not authorize trespassing on private property or ignoring highway-safety rules. To see deer and elk salvage permit data click on this Open Data link. Provisions of the new rule: It is permissible to salvage and transport a deer or elk that is accidentally killed by a motor vehicle collision except for any deer killed by a motor vehicle collision in Clark, Cowlitz, and Wahkiakum counties. A salvage permit must be obtained from the department within 24 hours of taking possession of the animal. Permits may be obtained on the department's website or at department regional offices. Big game licenses and tags cannot be used for the purpose of salvaging motor vehiclekilled deer or elk. The entire carcass, including entrails, of the animal must be removed from the road right of way. Any meat an individual deems unfit for human consumption or unusable animal parts must be disposed of pursuant to WAC Individuals salvaging and consuming this meat do so at their own risk. The department makes no guarantee as to the fitness for consumption of deer or elk collected under a salvage permit. (See Wild Game Meat Food Safety.) An individual may not kill an injured or wounded animal for the purpose of salvage. Only a law enforcement officer or individuals or entities authorized by the department may euthanize an animal injured in a motor vehicle collision, whether or not the animal is taken for salvage.
