Bethlehem Rod and Gun Club

Hunting Reminder

To all Members,

Reminder – all hunting stands and blinds are to be taken down and removed from the club property at the end of the season. A recent walk on the property (now that the snow is gone) found three stands in a small area of the property. Stands remaining on the property are subject to seizure and potentially auction for the club benefit. Please be mindful of everyone using the club grounds. Remove your stand and if you put up tape or markers to find it, please take those down as well. There seem to be alot of survey tape markers hanging in the woods. 

Thanks,

The President

From President
