SO we have leased the —- Farm again this year. We will continue to stock pheasants on weekends in Oct and have one weekend in November and January. The club stocks both pheasant and chukars. Since we are a lease and not a preserve, we must adhere to NYS Hunting Rules. There is a 2 pheasant per day limit. There is also a 2 chukar per day limit. Stocking is done on the scheduled days at 7am. Helpers are always needed. It is a great way to learn the property, get in some work hours and of course be there at 9am to start hunting. Last year we had a great turn out and we need to sign in and out and list the birds, taken so I can report to the board the usage and success rates. It is important to report so we can justify the budget.
