prize is a Henry Big Boy .44 magnum  lever action rifle. Third prize is a Mossberg Plinkster .

The drawing is scheduled to take place at next year’s wild game dinner on March 21, 2011.
Come to any meeting, or event, to buy your tickets or to collect some to sell to family,
friends and/or coworkers.

SUMMER SPORTING CLAYS SHOOT
 LCF&G will host a sporting clays shoot Saturday, August 21 at Deer Creek Hunt Club in
Three Oaks, MI.
The cost is $45 for a 100 target shoot, lunch, refreshments and awards afterwards. The cost
increases to $50 after this month’s meeting (August 4). The higher than normal cost is due to
Deer Creek’s increased costs and therefore higher cost to us.
Registration starts at 8:00 AM CDT with shooting starting at 9:00 AM CDT.
Call Connie at (219) 365-0951 to sign up.

LCF&G GROUNDS YOUTH HUNT
LCF&G grounds will be closed Sept. 11 in order to hold a youth hunt. Legal game will
include  Dove, Teal and Canada Geese. We’re going to allow 6 youth members an
opportunity to hunt our grounds for the day.
All hunters MUST BE LCF&G MEMBERS AND HUNTER SAFETY GRADUATES.
We’ll hold a lottery if more than 6 apply or possibly have a morning and afternoon hunt
depending on the interest shown. There is no cost involved (except for your ammo, etc.).
Apply at any meeting between now and then with our September meeting being the
deadline to apply.

SNAIL MAIL OR E-MAIL?
June’s newsletter was not delivered by the USPS because we advertised our gun raffle.
That, apparently, violates the rules of non-profit bulk mail. This issue is coming to you via
standard bulk mail at a 65% cost increase.
We are looking at alternatives to mailing a hard copy  of The Hoosier Sportsman each
month. Those alternatives include e-mail, simply posting the newsletter on our
website each month or continue with the present arrangement with a printed version being
mailed to you each month. We may also print a few copies each month to be made
available at the club.
I would like to hear from you regarding this issue. Please call me at (219) 663-3209 with your
opinion. You may also go to www.lakecountyfishandgame.org and sign up for e-mail
service. I, personally,  prefer the posting on the website  because like home addresses, e-
mail addresses sometimes change and keeping up with the changes can be a challenge.
And costly, too. The USPS will not forward our newsletter. Undelivered newsletters are
sent back to us with 1st class postage due.

LAKE COUNTY FAIR
This year’s fair runs from August 6 - August 15. LCF&G will host the fish pond the first
weekend (August  7 & 8). As always, we can use your help for an hour, or 2 either of those
days or during the week to help man our booth. Come out, help out and have some fun!
