Hot and Dry with little to no chance of rain for the next couple of

months. So, here is some advice that everyone already knows.

HYDRATE, drink lots of WATER. Look out for your family, friends

and neighbors, and don’t forget about your pets. DRINK WATER!!

Stay out of the sun. Keep the bald heads and the kiddo’s covered

with sun screen, a lot of it and don’t be afraid to re-apply as

needed. Here is a tip for keeping the house cool if there is no

A/C and if you are comfortable with your neighbors or the general security of

your home. Open the windows as far as you feel comfortable in the morning.

Then, just before the inside temp and the out temp start to equal, shut the

windows and close the drapes. We have done this for quite a few years and it

works really well. Repeat this process later in the afternoon when the outside

temp starts to fall. Open the windows and let the cool air in. It will help things

cool down a bit faster.

Bownanza is approaching soon. The excitement has begun. We have starting

preparation for this exciting time of our archery year. Courses are in the

beginning stages of the design process. This year we will have a Board of

Directors course set up on “D” course. The remaining courses will be designed

by Ted Moore and his crew on “C” course. Tyrone Locke and his crew on “B”

course. “A” course will be Bocci Delfino and crew.

Donations are always a part of Bonanza. Donations collected for our Raffle

Table are primarily collected by the Board of Directors. The funds collected

from our Raffle Table are used to supply all of the door prizes that we hand out

during the course of the weekend. We could use a few more Donations, if you

can help out that would be beneficial and appreciated. Please contact myself,

Tom Daniels 253-334-5571 or any board member.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground venison

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/3 of a large onion, minced

• 2 tbsp. cooking oil

• 1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and sliced (about 1 cup)

• 3 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce (or one 28 ounce jar)

• 6 cups of tube type or spiral pasta, cooked and drained

• 6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/2 cups)

• 1 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a 12-inch skillet, saute the onion in cooking oil on medium until tender. Add garlic to the pan and saute for about 1

minute (but be careful not to burn the garlic). Add ground venison to the pan until browned, stirring often to break up the meat. Add the zucchini and cook until it's tender. Stir in the sauce.

3. Mix the venison mixture, pasta, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a 3-quart shallow

baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the mixture is hot and bubbling, and the cheese is melted.

How to Prepare for Hunting Season Most serious (and successful) hunters know that hunting season doesn’t begin on opening day; it starts in the weeks and months

prior to the season. That’s the time to do the homework and the legwork that’s likely to put you in the right place at the right time

once opening day actually arrives. While preparing for the fall hunts isn’t a half-day or even a one-weekend project, there’s still

time to get ready. Here are some suggestions:

Study the regulations Be sure you know all the details about the upcoming season dates, license and permit requirements, fees, bag limits and other

rules. Many of these details change year to year, so never assume that last year’s regulations are going to apply to your favorite

hunting spots this season. Overlooking even a "little" detail or rule change can ruin your hunt. Pick up a copy of Washington’s Big

Game Hunting Seasons & Regulations pamphlet and Washington State Migratory Waterfowl & Upland Game Seasons pamphlet

and look them over carefully, especially the sections that concern the species and areas you plan to hunt.

Spend some time with maps A good map can provide a wealth of hunting information, whether you plan to hunt big game, waterfowl or upland game. Besides just showing the way to a starting point, a good map, used the right way, will even lead you to the places where game animals are most likely to be found. There are plenty of map resources availa-ble to get you there. Start with the wide screen, like a Washington State road map to help you locate a few areas of interest, then focus down to the point where you’re studying steep, forested canyons that may hold late-season bull elk or a series of small, shallow ponds more than a mile off the nearest road that looks per-fect for jump-shooting a limit of mallards. Good map resources are available both in hard copy and online. Check out WDFW’s online Hunting Regulations mapping resource to review Game Management Units, topog-raphy, satellite images showing vegetation and terrain, etc. Also, explore the Department’s Game Harvest Reports and Game Status and Trend Reports to gauge how hunters have fared in previous years and what biologists have observed for the health of the population.

Bear

We possibly have some good news for us Bear hunters. They have voted on getting all (GMU’s) to begin Bear

season on the same day. We should find out really soon if this change will be set in stone. Hopefully, come

August 1rst, we will not have to worry about the unit we want to hunt not being open yet. Keep your fingers

crossed!

the Field was $293. We made $362 on just the novelty shoot alone. There were 48 shooters total and 4

new memberships. The total amount spent on food was $325. There were enough supplies purchased to

divide that in half for the YOU shoot as well. Jim will be making a call to the IBO to find out who is on the

list and figure out why there was 2 checks made out for the insurance. Jim sent the 990 easy to an ac-

countant to get his help on making sure we are doing our taxes and filing correct. Jim will let us know how

much his services are and run it past the board first. We have until June 15th to file.

Range Master Report: (Bocci D) There needs to be some repair on the running deer. The courses need to

be mowed, weed wacked and need to do some maintenance on all access roads.

Assistant Animal: (Dave G) The yardage markers were taken up from course A. B & D are hunter rounds.

50% to you shoot organization. Motion was made to accept the you shoot extreme split. Motion was car-

Solar panels-BJ and Ron are still looking into it. Looks like it would cost over 10 grand to set up the club

house for solar panel energy.

Bownanza:

smaller to get the cost down. Tom has an idea if Roberts doesn’t pan out.

Chef of the Woods 2019 By: Shad Hulse

On May 25th we held our 8th annual “Chef of the Woods” competition.

We had a great turn out considering the weather didn’t exactly

cooperate with us this year. We had 13 Chefs compete this year and

nearly 100 people join in for dinner. As always, there was no shortage of

food and good times. Our top 3 Chefs: Leonard Tompkins in 3rd place,

Deanna Tompkins in 2nd place and Shad Hulse in 1st place.

Cook Shack Help Needed By: The Board

Concessions are a key part of our tournaments and helps with shooter turn out. ANY AND ALL HELP WILL

BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Please reach out to Jason Coleman or Tom Daniels if you are available or

have any interest in helping with concessions. Our next shoot is June 15th & 16th.

FLAT RANGE By: The Board

Please be aware that there are NO CENTER DOTS on the targets at the Flat Range, NOR DO WE WANT

ANY! We have done this purposely, as for many years the centers have been shot and the target bales

are getting worn out. Shooting the perimeter will help promote the longevity of the bale. Please do

not bring your own stickers and attach them to club targets.

Board Meeting Reminder

The May board meeting will be held at 6:30 on July 11th at the CRB

cluhouse. All CRB members are welcome to attend. Come see how you can

contribute to your club. Guest comments and feedback are welcome.
