When we meet for “Regular” meetings

The third Wednesday of each month is generally reserved for chapter meetings, and we generally meet on this day in February, March, April, May, June, August, and November. This takes place at a restaurant where we have dinner and generally feature speakers on a topic of interest to our members.

Special events held or hosted each year

• Chapter fundraising banquet and auction on the first Saturday in March
• Chukar hunting in November
• Christmas party in early December

Our code of ethics

Recognizing our responsibilities to wildlife, habitat, and future generations, we pledge:

• To conduct ourselves in the field to make a positive contribution to wildlife and ecosystems
• To improve our skills as woodsmen and marksmen to ensure humane harvesting of wildlife
• To comply with all game laws, in the spirit of fair chase, and to influence our companions accordingly
• To accept our responsibility to provide assistance to game law enforcement officers
• To waste no opportunity to teach young people the full meeting of the code of ethics

To reflect in word and behavior only credit upon the fraternity of sportsmen and to demonstrate abiding respect for game, habitats, and property where we are privileged to hunt.
