We have been advised that a large coyote displayed aggressive behaviour towards a member and his dog on Dec 3rd, near the long range targets. The member also located the coyote den nearby. Members are asked to be extra vigilant while at the range, especially if children or pets are present.
Members are advised that a layer of ice was just cleared off the stairs to the elevated stand today. A shovel has been placed nearby and if members are able to shovel snow accumulations off the stairs, it will prevent the stairs from icing up in the future. Many thanks!
