A Word from the President

Hunting season has come to an end for the Payne family and a great season it was for us all, we didn't get out as much as we would have liked and not to sure we will ever get enough hunting but we had a good time and great number of birds each time we did make. We also did some big game hunting as well this year, that was for sure a great time and a lot of super memories as well.

I hope to see more chapter participation this year at the tests and training days, we have a really nice chapter with a lot of great people to learn from, don't let it get away from you and we need more help when holding tests and input from all chapter members is always welcome. Without everyone we won't have a chapter.
