Reminder to anyone attending tomorrow’s training day! If you will be purchasing birds from KM,
You MUST stop and pick up your own birds. You are responsible for catching and crating and transporting your own birds.
Birds must be purchased prior to the start of training.
As always, handlers are welcome to bring their own birds with them if they have a different source,
Thank you!
Hope to see you out there!!

Great news!!

Big news for upland hunters!

Pheasants Forever is applauding today's announcement by the U.S. Department of the Interior for the proposed expansion of 1,450 new hunting and fishing opportunities on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands across 111 stations in 32 states.

This represents the largest expansion of hunting and fishing access in the history of the USFWS and will benefit upland hunters and the places bird dogs love to roam!

Hey all KM members!!

We are asking please for volunteers to step up for bird care!! This is one of the most crucial volunteer positions we have!
We have 11 weeks still without bird care.
The reality is that we cannot continue to offer birds to members if no one will help us care for them.
It’s disappointing to us that there is such a lack of support for this. This board works extremely hard and gives a large amount of their personal time to coordinate bird purchases, often traveling a few hours to get them for our members, So please, consider helping us out!!!!!! In return for your efforts, you’ll receive 1/2 off your membership for next year😊

It isn’t too difficult, and if you are new , we will provide you with instructions so don’t hesitate!
Reach out to Dave Johnson at :

Or Secretary Ann Jakel at

or myself Rob Crum at

We all want good, healthy, strong birds that fly well, so please HELP!

We can use a few hands at the CTY U training grounds!
We have a few ppl meeting tomorrow morning at 8:30 to help plant a row of pine trees, which will serve as a barrier between the field and the road, to help keep dogs away from the road.
If you are able and willing, come on out!
Additionally we’ll be meeting this coming Sunday morning at 8:30 to finish up
Reply to Norm Hammerer with any questions!!
Thanks !!
