We had never been to the east coast and thoroughly enjoyed the scenery. We went by Niagara falls on the way up and swung down through Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on the way home. We bought fresh lobster, shrimp and scallops on the coast, saw moose, grouse and snowshoe rabbits, but the main purpose of our trip was to hunt Black Bear. In spite of the record high temps (85-90 degrees) we MBH Members Enjoy Great Bear Hunt in Canada had a great hunt and saw many bruins. We were fortunate to take our bears on the same night (different baits) and be able to take our pictures together. Cheryl used her fifty pound Hoyt 737 and Easton Full Metal Jackets, while I chose my fifty two Black Widow recurve and Three-Rivers "Traditional Only" carbon arrows. We both used NAP Razor cap broadheads. Cheryl's bear traveled less than 50 yards and mine made it only 30. The bears were in excellent condition, beautifully thick pelts and no rubbed spots. We can now say that we have taken bears from one side of Canada to the other. In 2007 we both took bears from Canada's west coast, British Columbia. Spring bear hunting is a lot of fun and excitement. Do your best to make your bow hunting dreams come true, we only experience time on this earth once so make the most of it! Hope to see you in camp someday... Tim Donnelly Missouri Bow Hunters Members: Tim Donnelly and his fiancé Cheryl Earhart.. Both bears were taken on the same night allowing Tim and Cheryl to get the photo (on the left) taken together.

3 A message from your President Here we go! MBH has officially entered into cyberspace. It has not been an easy ride. Terry and Kathy have been working nonstop to make this happen in time for the July issue. Like anything new, there will be some bugs to work out. Patience is the key. This move has been in the works since the Board voted on it at the January meeting. Kathy has been sending out login and password information for the past month. There are still quite a few members who have not sent their information to Kathy. If you know someone who is having trouble with this procedure, either offer to help them or contact one of us so we can try to get them online as soon as possible. Some recent feedback that we have been receiving is the concern that we will lose members because of this. The truth is, if all MBH has to offer a new member is the promise of a monthly newsletter, than we are in sad shape. MBH is so much more than just a monthly calendar of events. We need to focus on all of the positive things that have been happening and are in the works. Our new advertising flyer has a long list of MBH accomplishments. The hunters, competitive archers, as well as the Sunday shooter have enjoyed many rewards from the hard work of MBH over the past Fifty years. It might be a good idea to try to showcase some of these items in future Releases. It has started off as a very busy summer. Missouri should be very proud, in that we have several of the top shooters in the country. Most of these guys and gals travel all over the country competing in their respective venues. There are a number of target shoots as well as some national 3D's that our shooters have been attending and many of them will be bringing home some hardware to show off. In some cases, they will have one of those big cardboard checks to take to the bank. Still some of the best things brought back are pictures, broken arrows and new memories. Good luck to all of the competitors this summer! The State outdoor is just a few weeks. July 14th. Remember that there will be a BofR meeting after Saturday's shooting. Any and all are invited to attend and take part in the meeting. Don't forget to bring your nominations for President and Vice-President. We have listened to the members about the State 3D. We are going back to a two day format. Carroll County Bow Hunters will be hosting it on the weekend of August 11th & 12th. I believe that the Board has come up with a tournament that will appeal to everybody this year. The registration form is in this issue. Please try to register early. It really helps those doing all of the paperwork. That would be Kathy, not me. The MBH Youth Bow fishing tournament will be held Saturday July 14th at Bledsoe Ferry In Warsaw. Special thanks to Kent Hayes and the rest of the Dott Archery crew for keeping this shoot going for the kids! This fish shoot would have not been possible without them. The Release has a new editor and publisher. Diane Harlan will be publishing the Release as of July. All articles, stories, pictures, and advertising, or anything else of interest should still be sent to Ryan Fitzgerald at ryanfitz@charter.net. Calendar of event dates will still go the secretary at potter.mbh@cvalley.net.

4 PAGE 4 The Thrill of the Tournament! There are very few things that I can compare to being on the stand and waiting for that big buck to come trotting down the tree line. Also, nothing can compare to chatting it up with your hunting buddies about that P&Y size deer you saw or that one that got away. Frankly, the rush of harvesting, or even just seeing deer on the stand is awfully hard to beat. But the closest thing to it is a good archery tournament. Not only is pushing you skills as an archer incredibly fun, but it s the whole experience. The people, the challenge, the brotherhood, and the fellowship that is in our sport are absolutely incredible. For example, I had a great opportunity to travel half way across the state to Three Rivers Bowhunters in Hermann, Missouri to shoot an ASA qualifier. This turned into an all-around great tournament for me. I started out by meeting some really great folks as well as shooting with them. Along with that, it was one of the most unique 3D ranges I have ever been to. The majority of the shots at the shoot were shots that I have always wanted to see. There was a white goat target that was nearly feet above the shooter on a bluff at 30 something yards. Just imagine trying to shoot the sun at noon and that s a pretty good representation of the shot! Numerous shots where either uphill or downhill with a great variation of targets left me feeling like I became a better shooter afterwards. My tip to anyone reading this is taken a few weekends to get out and try a new club. Challenge yourself with a new course and become a better shooter! In conclusion, the next time you find yourself at an archery tournament (field, 3D, indoor, whatever!), jump in a group with someone you ve never shot with. You would be absolutely surprised the great people who you might meet. Aim Small and God Bless Cole Duensing NODAHO BOW HUNTERS, INC. Jeanette Brookshier, Secretary Several Nodaho members traveled to Columbia and met up with our friends from NWMAC, Ed & Marsha Criger on June 9 for the Missouri State Senior Games to compete in the Target Archery event. In this event, 30 arrows are shot at 60 yards, 30 at 50 yards and 30 at 40 yards. I m not going to tell you the age divisions to protect the vain, but winning in their respective divisions were - GOLD: Tim Randall, Jenell Ciak, Marsha Criger and Rick Horn. SILVER: Bill Brookshier & Tom Ciak. Encountering some equipment issues, Jerry Brookshier took 4th in his division. Our Traditional Only shoot was deemed a success even though participation was down in part by the Senior Games date conflict on June 9. In the Male division, Brad Nail took 1 st with a score of 323 followed by Trent Hamilton with a 297 and Fred Nail with a 268. Linda Hankins won the Female division with a score of 211, and Colton Hankins the kid s division with a score of 286. We also had a TREMENDOUS turnout at our regular 3-D shoot on June 10. Full results (as well as the traditional shoot) can be found on our web site www. nodahobowhunters.com or Facebook Some pretty impressive shooting was done by Stan Harmon, Jr. who scored a 434 although official records have not been kept, we are pretty sure it is a course record for our range. The team shoot was won by Stan Harmon, Jr. and Nshan Thompson and the winner of the drawing for the free shoot in the Sunday, August 12 will be our appreciation shoot there will be lots of prizes to be given away after the awards ceremony, so plan on spending the day (if not the weekend) with us. FUN division was Rita Wallinga. We appreciate all who came. It does not seem possible to even be talking August yet (except for the weather), but be sure to mark your calendars for our Appreciation Shoot weekend on August 11 & 12. The night shoot will be August 11. Please remember this is a shotgun start promptly at dusk, so be there before then to participate. Although most will use traditional gear, remember there are NO lighted scopes or nocks allowed. Sunday, August 12 will be our appreciation shoot there will be lots of prizes to be given away after the awards ceremony, so plan on spending the day (if not the weekend) with us. Hope to see you soon....

5 Well here we are into June already and it s starting to heat up. Thanks again for one and all that came out to our last 3-D shoot on April 22 nd and thanks to all the workers that helped put on the shoot. If anyone can think of anything that we can do to make our shoots better, let us know. You are the ones that we want to please. If you ever want to know how you placed in our shoots, if you have a computer and can get on the Internet, check us out at: www. stlbowhunters.com or and see what else is going on at the St. Louis Bowhunters. Here are the results of the last 3-D shoot at the Bench Rest Rifle Club. I will just list the first two or three places, because there would be too many and would take up too much space in the Release. Some of the winners were as follows: April 22, D Cub Ashley Jackson Dane Darneff Jordan Hartz Mens Bowhunter Freestyle/Release Robert Fulton Reggie Baxter Adam Emge Junior Cub Ethan Heck Mens Freestyle Open Lonnie Nicholas Steve Darnell Mike Winkler Rangefinder (New Class) Seniors 60+ Mike Raine Ron Starks ST. LOUIS BOWHUNTERS Traditional Joe Ban DeRiet Women s Bowhunter/Freestyle Release Gail Starks Dorothy Bell Megan McKeon Youth Female Grace Gisi Youth Male Noah Lueker Thanks again to one and all that came out and shot with us. If you just want to practice, we have a very nice indoor range at 301 Tecumseh Street in St Charles and the range is open to public shooting Sunday Noon-4pm unless there is a tournament. Also now on Tuesday evenings 7:00 pm-10:00 pm and Wednesdays 9:30 am-1pm, Friday 7:00 pm-10:00 pm and Saturday evenings 7:00 pm-10:00 pm. For information call: at the indoor range. Until the next time, keep shooting, and forget about the arrow you just missed. It s already gone and there isn t anything else you can do about it. Don t think about what you did wrong with the last shot, the think about how you want to do the right thing the next shot. Just get your head screwed on right for the next shot and I think you will see better results. Bob Brumback PAGE 5 Northside Archers St. Louis, MO I don t know about you all, but I m ready to shoot outdoors. The Northside outdoor range is in pretty good shape. It s just hard to keep up with those growing weeds because of the rain. Thanks to Bill Myers and Alex Tagle who took a weed eater to whole range and made it look a whole lot better. Thanks also to Alex for trimming the eighty yard walk-up so we have two shooting positions again. Thanks to one and all that came out this year and helped to get the range ready. You all know who you are and I thank you very much. We have put about 113 man/woman hours into getting the range in shape to shoot our Tuesday evening league and still have a little more to do before our Field tournament planned for this year, on July 8 th. That is one week prior to the State Outdoor. Our Tuesday evening league, has really picked up this year. Some really great field score have been recorded so far. We have had several people try Field Archery, and once they do, they are hooked. Our Tuesday night Outdoor league winners for the month for May are: Dave Ireland tie for1 st place with an average of with Brian Dufaux with an average of 275.2,, and Bill Myers 2 nd place with and average of Hope you all enjoy the Midwestern and have good weather. Not much else right now, but it sure looks like a full schedule of shooting coming up Until the next time, keep those arrows flying and may they all find the sweet spot.

7 Congratulations to the MBH member Jim Brinkmann who won the 1 st Spring Turkey Award for the third year in a row and for the fourth time in the last five years. His bird was killed on opening day at 9:30am with a 12 yd. shot and to yours truly for earning the Last Spring Turkey Award. I killed a Jake on May 4 th at 8:31am. Leave it up to me to create a new award and then win it. I only had four turkey reports from 3 MBH hunters. I am kind of disappointed as I know there were more birds than that taken but you missed out on your chance at a cool award plaque and gift for not entering your bird. Let s continue our countdown of the MBH All Time Deer. This month will be the #6 & #5 Deer. MBH All Time P&Y Typical Bucks. The #6 buck was killed on private ground in Boone County by Robert Hagans on October 11, The 5x6 buck scored 157&7/8 P&Y. Typical Buck #5 was an 11point 158&0/8 P&Y deer. Traditional Archer Charles Myers killed it with a 75lb Barnett Renegade Recurve. His Easton 2219 arrow and Butterfield Brute broadhead passed completely through the buck from 32 yards away. The LARGE & SMALL GAME COMMITTEE shot was from a treestand at 4:50 pm on November 2, 1985 in Dade County. Happy Bow Hunting Jeff Blystone Jandkbly@gmail.com MBH All Time P&Y Non-Typical Buks. The #6 Non-Typical buck was killed in Ray County by Bob Brown in That 15 point buck scored 159&6/8 P&Y. Bob took a 20 yard shot on November 9 th at 9am using his Mathews Conquest compound bow with a Snyper mechanical broadhead. That same year of 2003 Non-Typical Buck #5 was killed, it scored 160&3/8 P&Y. Mike Manion used a Mathews bow as well to harvest his 13 pointer. An Easton XX75 arrow and a Muzzy broadhead was the lethal combination on this deer, the date was October 28 th at 5:30pm from a treestand 15yds away. Mike was hunting in St Louis County on private ground. That heavyweight tipped the scales at 225lbs field dressed. PAGE 7 MBH All Time Big Does. The #6 Big Doe weighed in at 161lbs and was taken in Lawrence County by Richard Osborne. Richard shot his big doe on December 5, 1974 at 4:06 pm.

Hope everybody is enjoying the opportunity to do some outdoor shooting. A HUGE thanks goes out to everybody that participated in the Midwest Sectional Outdoor Championship on June 23rd/24th. Independence Bow Hunters did another fine job hosting the tournament for our area. Congratulations to all the MBH members who earned Sectional Championship awards. A special congratulations goes out to MBH member Beau Collins who won Cub Male Freestyle with a score of 1120 which was also the HIGHEST score of the entire tournament! I m pleased to report that participation for the event was up I mean REALLY up. In 2011 total participation (both locations) was 67. This year we had 83 scores turned in. That s an increase of almost 25%!! The classes boasting the largest increases were Male Freestyle divisions for Pro, Master Senior, Adult and Cub.

9 PAGE 9 Over the past two and a half years there have been 11 CWD-infected deer detected at private hunting preserves in Macon and Linn counties. The MDC conducted intensive sampling of free-ranging deer in the surrounding area and found 5 deer that tested positive for the disease. As a result the Conservation Commission in its May meeting approved regulation changes aimed at limiting the spread of CWD in free-ranging deer. A CWD Containment Zone consisting of Adair, Chariton, Linn, Macon, Sullivan, & Randolph counties has been formed. MDC & agriculture officials supervised the removal of deer from the affected hunting preserves. MDC will continue testing of free-ranging deer in the Containment Zone. Since the disease is spread from deer to deer regulations limiting the placement of grain, salt, minerals, and other deer attractants that artificially bring deer together in high numbers will go into effect on October 30 th. The antler-point restriction has also been rescinded for the containment-zone counties during the hunting seasons. To further reduce the chances of spreading CWD, MDC is asking hunters who shoot deer within the Containment Zone not to take whole deer carcasses out of the zone. Even within the Containment Zone, it is important to properly dispose of deer carcasses by taking them to approved landfills or burying them deep enough to prevent scavengers from digging them up. This is a very serious threat to our deer herd. The disease is always fatal and deer can only be tested for CWD by sampling brain or spinal column tissue so the deer must be killed to sample for the disease. The abnormal proteins know as prions that cause CWD can last in the ground for years so the hope is to contain it for as long as possible. To learn more about Missouri s CWD management strategy and express your opinions on the subject, visit animal-management/animal-diseases/ deer-diseases/chronic-wasting-disease. It time to go on line at hunting-trapping/deer-hunting/ managed-hunts and apply for the special manage hunts that the Missouri department of Conservation conducts every year. The application period is July 1st through August 15th. You will be notified of the selection by September It s a simple process and you may get an opportunity to hunt a great area. Even if you don t get drawn for one of the hunts this year you still earn preference points so that your chances are better for next years draw. On the same web page you can look up the 2011 manage hunt selection and harvest data. All of last year s hunts are listed with your chances of getting drawn for any particular hunt and what the hunter success rate was for all of the hunts. It s also time to start shooting your bow in earnest to prepare for the upcoming season. One of the best ways to practice that I know of is to shoot 3D tournaments. One tourney you will want to attend for sure is the MBH State 3D Championship held this year in Carrollton. It will be a two day event that is sure to challenge your archery skills.
