DOVE HUNT MENTORING PROGRAM
LCF&G is sponsoring a dove hunt for new-to-the-sport hunters. It will be held Sept. 5, 2009
at the Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Area. The program is limited to 25 hunters and our
goal is a mentor for every two hunters. Mentors must possess a valid hunting license with
the appropriate stamps and be HIP certified. They will not participate in the shooting, only
guide the new hunters in their quest for some Indiana Dove.  The day will start on the
range with some firearm safety and usage instruction, then lunch, then hunting.  If you
would like to help, or for more information,  please contact Don Jones at (219) 844-2758.

LCF&G FAMILY PICNIC
Sept. 26th is the date of this year’s Family Club Picnic. There will be food to eat, drinks to
drink, horseshoes to pitch, bean bags to toss, kids’ casting contest to contest and fun and
camaraderie for all.  You may bring a dish to share if you’d like. That’s not a requirement,
just more or less a tradition. Each year we are blessed with a plethora of appetizing
appetizers, sumptuous salads and delicious desserts to enhance our picnic fare.  We’ll
provide the meat (roast pork), drinks, tableware and fun. You provide you, maybe a chair,
maybe a fishing pole,  maybe both.  The hours are from noon ‘til 5 PM. The  Club’s family
picnic is open to all members and their immediate family. Come out and enjoy the day
with fellow LCF&G members. Who knows? Maybe you’ll make some new friends or see
some old ones.

CLEANUP DAY PLANNED
Lake County Fish and Game has planned a clean-up day for Sat., Sept. 12. Just in time for
the picnic. We will be cleaning the clubhouse...floors, walls, fans and windows. So put on
your best cleaning clothes, bring some rubber gloves and come out and help make the
clubhouse sparkle! We’ll be cleaning from 8 AM till 1 PM. Any help will be appreciated.

SHOTGUN RAFFLE
Lake County Fish and Game will raffle a Benelli Supernova Pump Shotgun in 12 ga. at our
club’s family picnic September 26, 2009.  Features of this fine shotgun include: 3 1/2”

    We have been having a problem with people sneaking onto the club property and
    member and anyone taking fish from the property.  "Without consent" is the charge,
    it is a $153.00 ticket.  LCF&G is now on file with the local CO's, they know how to
    who is keeping fish or see anyone who is not a member please call the DNR tip line.  
    800-TIP-IDNR ( 800-847-4367 )  You don't have to give your name but let them know.  
    They may not be able to come right out but sooner or later they will get them.  
    We paid for those fish and the theft has to stop.

    Emergency numbers are posted in the window near the front gate.
