The St. Joseph County Conser-vation & Sportsman Club, Inc. (Club) is interested in taking bids on our 2016 Diesel John Deere 4x4 Gator. The Gator has only 212 hours on it. The Club is asking $12,500. It comes with the following items:
Bed Liner
Power Dump Bed
Trailer Hitch
Floor Mats
Brush Guard
Rear Screen w/Head Rests
Powertrain Warranty
The powertrain warranty is good until 2-23-2019. Bids can be submitted on the Gator to any Club officer or Board Member. Bids should be at $12,500 or greater to be considered. The club plans on purchasing a replacement vehicle. The BOD would rather sell this to a club member rather than trade it in. This is a great price for this vehicle as similar ones for the same model year can run up to $20,000.
For any questions on the Gator, contact board members Jeff Brazo 269-689-0200 or Pete Davis 269-651-1388. Arrangements can be made to see it, drive it, and otherwise check it out. Place your bids today!

NRA Home Firearm Safety Class October 20, 2018
The St. Joseph County Conservation & Sportsman Club, Inc. (Club) will host the National Rifle Association of America (NRA) Home Firearm Safety Class, October 20, 2018, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 p.m. at the Club facility located at 23640 Feather-stone Road, Sturgis, MI. There is no charge for the class. “Home Firearm Safety is offered to provide firearm owners, and non-owners, an opportunity to learn the ba-sics of firearms and how to handle firearms.” Stated Charles Reynolds, NRA Train-ing Counselor. The class does not involve any range use of firearms. “We intend to educate people of most any age in the proper handling of firearms, basic opera-tion of different types of firearms, proper storage of firearms in the home, and what to do should a loaded firearm be found.” Said Reynolds.
The Club is a nonprofit organization with a purpose of educating the public on fire-arm ownership, conservation and natural resource issues. Information on the class can be obtained by contacting Charles Reynolds at [email protected] or calling 269-251-3946.

CPL Renewal Class October 17 No, a class is not required for renewing your CPL. But when you sign the Michi-gan State Police Form RI-012, you will be certifying that you have spent at least one hour of firing range time in the last six months and three hours reviewing the required training that you took to get your CPL. The range time requirement is easy to complete, but what about the review of class material? Are you up-to-date with the changes in the CPL law? Whether you are renewing your CPL or just feel you need to review your CPL material and learn about the changes in the law since you got your CPL, this is a class for you. This four hour class will be run here at the Sportsman Club whenever we have four or more people. The cost per person will be $50, which includes class materials, classroom, and range time (furnish your own ammunition.) Contact Charlie Reynolds at 269.251.3946 or [email protected] for more information.
