There was some confusion regarding the use of the Gun and Archery Buck Tags during the Nov. 23 - Dec. 1 gun deer season and the Dec. 2 - Dec. 11 muzzleloader seasons at the membership meeting on Oct. 31st. The question was asked if it was allowed to enter 2 bucks in the CVCC Deer Contest since bows and crossbows can be used in addition to firearms. In reviewing the DNR Deer Regulations the answer is YES since the archery season is open during this time. However, only 1 buck can be tagged with the Gun Deer Tag but it can be killed with either a firearm, bow or crossbow.

Thanks to all the members and friends who attended our Fall Fundraiser. It was another big success that would not have been possible without your support. Special thanks to the CVCC Board for organizing and spearheading this effort plus all the donators and volunteers for their time, hard work and dedication to the CVCC!

 The September drawing in the CVCC's Raffle for Serious Sportsmen was held at the monthly membership meeting on Thursday, September 26th.  The lucky winner of the Benelli Super Black Eagle II 3 1/2" 12 Ga.
