Please be aware of your surroundings/club ranges. Don’t walk out on ranges while they are in use.

ATV’s are permitted to recover deer, or take tree stands in and out,only. You must stay out of the fields and only drive on designated farm lanes or paths in the woods.

It is possible that the club will start construction of a road that connects the club to the new property this year.
