MEMBERSHIP RENEWALAs a reminder, the current 2009 membership badges expire at the end of February, 2010. This year, we are going to run the membership renewal a bit different from what we have done in the past. The skyline club will email you your membership dues (minus any workbond you have had for the year). Members that get their newsletter via US Mail will receive their notice via US Mail. Once we receive your check, we will then mail you your 2010 membership badge. It is hoped that this process will be more convenient for our members and streamline the process for the club. Look for further details included with the membership dues notice. Members are

encouraged to review their Work Bond history as it should be claimed and credited when renewing for the 2010 year. Still not too late to volunteer if you need workbond. Check the workbond article below for new work bond opportunities. Thank you to all of you that have dedicated time to the range and the club this past year!

ON-ICE ICE FISHING SEMINAR REPORTTen people were at the parking lot ready to go at 2:30, a few more rolled in around 4:00 or so. The guide drilled the holes, set up the rods, and answered questions until at least 6:30. Six trout were caught throughout the early evening and one walleye bit at night arrived. It was a slow day but the key here was that we learned an awesomely effective system for hooking into walleyes and have the confidence that we are ready to catch more next week.

Having a group of 10 anglers we could change colors and lure sizes to see if that was the issue. We also knew that if a walleye came even remotely close to us it would see our baits. I’m used to fishing with one or two others and I’m always wondering, “what if they were right over there?” The group was really fun to meet and hang out with and the kids actually caught the most fish.

Anyways, the guide is going to give us a couple of other spots to fish next week. He guides out there multiple times every week so he usually knows what areas have fish and what areas don’t. I will send out another email next Tuesday indicating where to park and where we will be fishing. We typically have the largest group on the ice so if you come late we aren’t that tough to find.

If you do buy equipment here is what you want:2 rods2 reels

The best jigging rod for walleye is a medium action rod that’s 24-32 inches long. The best bobber rod for walleye is a medium light action rod of the same length. Buy the best reel you can afford.Both rods will also work for trout.4lb Berkley Trilene XT line in camo green is what the guide uses.Try to find “ice buster” bobbers. These are yellow foam bobbers with a red bottom. Buy the medium size. Buy a small bag of bobber stops (small strips of cord that hold your bobber in place and tell you how deep your spoon is jigging. Put one of these on each rod and cut the ends with 1” of extra line.For jigs buy the #6 size of the northland fire-eye grub in one or two colors. The lindy frostee jig also works. Truthfully, and jig that’s around 1/8 oz will work.For spoons, buy any medium sized spoon in chartreuse glow, silver, gold, and red glow. Pick a spoon style that you like the best.

The club has extra bobber stops, bobbers, and jigs that you can use. We have a few extra rods too if it’s your first time out.

SHFC members can “check out” the gas auger and bait bucket for the weekend (or weeknight) by emailing me the day before.

Minutes: Dave Harrison – Fishing Chair – present. Call to order at 5:25 PM. Dave Harrison presented some venue changes for the ice fishing at Chatfield Reservoir. So far, 10 individuals e-mailed showing interest. Dave obtained a power ice auger for the club. Ice fishing will start Wednesday, January 6 th . Stated that both trout and walleyes are biting. Membership renewal – Walter Tang wants to procure the range rules booklet for FY 2010 And has asked for an “official” copy of the range rules. Motion from Keith Davis to provide an addendum to the range rules noting the storage and display location for the red “range in use” flags. Motion carried. Corey Kroll to provide flag storage and display locations to Walter Tang. Tony Christensen suggested having a membership renewal safety test question regarding use of the flags. All agreed that this is a good item to include on the safety test. Walter Tang brought up the issue of billing for the SHFC web site and that the mailings need to be sent to the clubs P.O. box rather than to particular individuals. Keith Davis will be taking over the club insurance issues from Ken Boetcher. The club received a notice from the IRS of late tax filing. The club’s accountant is coordinating with the IRS over the matter. It appears that there is a mis-understanding within the IRS over the club’s fiscal year not aligning with the calendar year.

The banquet date has been set for Sunday, February 21 st , tentatively again at Las Brisas, although alternate venues are being considered (Roxboro golf course, Jack & Grill). Planning is for 100 guests for a proposed 11:00 to 2:30 time period. Similar budgeting provisions as for last year’s banquet. The deadline to complete is January 18 th . The club is in the process of developing the VIP guest list. The road grader located on the range will be made operational in preparation for sale. Jack Malin and Dave Mulholland will coordinate the required maintenance and expedite the sale. Dave Mulholland will ask Scot Roby for a listing of gate card “swipes” from the range road barricade on a quarterly basis. Jamey Smith has agreed to continue to work the membership effort. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 PM.

NEW ARCHERY HUNTING REGULATIONS FOR HUNTING ON LMSSC PROPERTY – EFFECTIVE 2010 SEASON

Recently the Board had a discussion regarding the possible consequences of a wounded deer or elk being sighted by non hunters with an arrow in it either on or close to the LMSSC property. Each year, SHFC has to get special permission for its members to participate in the archery only

hunting on LMSSC property. Any adverse publicity may impact the possibility of that special permission being granted by LMSSC Management. To minimize the possibility of wounded animals being wounded and sighted by the non-hunting public, the Board has voted to incorporate the following new regulations for the possible 2010 season:

- If a hunter wounds an animal on LMSSC property and is unable to recover it, that particular tag is no longer valid for use on LMSSC property. The hunter may continue to hunt in an effort to recover the wounded animal only. The hunter may also continue to hunt using other tags valid for another species.

- Each hunter is on the honor system to notify the archery committee chairman as soon as possible that they have wounded an animal and to discontinue hunting other animals with that tag.

- Hunters that do not notify the archery committee chairman and are later proven to have wounded an animal will be subject to disciplinary action by the board under Article Number X of the By-Laws for unsportsmanlike conduct.

We strongly encourage archery hunters to only take high percentage shots within their effective range to minimize the possibility of wounded animals being sighted on or near the LMSSC property.

These regulations will be part of the annual permit letter signed by HR and they will be emphasized and briefed at the mandatory safety and security briefing held prior to the hunting seasons.

2009 SHFC BIG GAME CONTESTFor 2009 the SHFC Big Game Committee will again be using the Boone & Crockett scoring system. Entries will be accepted for pronghorn, moose, bear, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, whitetail deer, mule deer, & elk in both typical and non-typical categories.

Participants must be current SHFC members in good standing, spouses and direct dependents living with the SHFC member are also eligible.

Contest entries from SHFC youth & females are particularly encouraged, even for harvesting female big-game animals.

Big game animals must be legally taken in the State of Colorado in accordance with all Colorado Division of Wildlife regulations and without the services of a hired guide or outfitter.Scoring sheets & instructions are available from the B & C website, the link is http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/bc_scoring_pdfs.asp?area=bgRecords

For those without internet access, contact Mike McKaig at 303-932-4766 or Dennis Casey at 303-971-7197 and we will provide a scoring sheet.

Please submit the appropriate completed B & C scoring form and Fair Chase affidavit to: Dennis M. Casey at dennis.m.casey@lmco.com or mail stop L5030 or: Mike McKaig at DC3742 or mike.mckaig@lmco.com. No entries will be accepted after 01-31-10.

In the event of closely-scoring entries the Big Game Committee may measure the antlers or request it be performed by an official B & C Club Measurer.

Note: there is at least one official B & C Scoring Measurer in the Club and numerous others in the Denver Metro area, and there is no charge for this service.The final results will be presented at the annual SHFC Awards Banquet.

WORK BONDThe latest list of work bond jobs is listed at the website http://gvtg.com/skyline/ . Click the “Workbond “ tab and then “ Job List”. Some near term work bond jobs are helpers during the renewal sessions in March. Checking your work bond to make sure it is up to date will help speed up the renewal process. If you want to volunteer for one of the jobs or a task you think needs to be done please contact the Work Bond Chair, Norm Viste at normviste@msn.com or 303-904-1828. Work Bond that you volunteered for with a specific committee should still be coordinated through that committee chair who will coordinate with Norm. Thank you for your help and participation.

ELECTRONIC GATEPer the SHFC Range Rules, each club member is required to "wand" their electronic gate card at the electronic gate for accountability. This will also reset the arm’s timer so it doesn’t come down on your vehicle. If the gate is locked open, listen for the “beep” as confirmation that badge was read. Upon leaving the range, each person should push the gate open button so the arm’s timer is reset so it doesn’t come down on your vehicle on the way out.

.22 RIMFIRE SPORTER MATCHThis activity is similar in format to the high-power service rifle competition and will follow the guidelines described in the Civilian Marksmanship Program guide.

To encourage participation, SHFC will allow ANY rifle capable of firing .22 long rifle ammunition, either bolt action, magazine fed, or, semi-automatic. Any type of sights or scopes of no more than 6 X are allowable. (Variable power scopes which go beyond 6X, can be set to 6X max.) The match will be fired at distances of 50 and 25 yards using paper targets and will consist of unlimited sighting shots followed by 60 shots for record in position stages of prone, sitting or kneeling, and standing.

No special equipment is required but a spotting scope or binoculars may be helpful during the sighting stage and a mat or carpet runner would be helpful for the prone and sitting stages. The club can provide these if one is not handy. This event is for both beginners and experienced shooters of all ages and is a fun, low cost activity which will definitely improve your marksmanship skills.

FISHINGAn informal ice fishing group will meet at the Chatfield every Wednesday in January and February weather and ice conditions permitting, contact David Harrison at 303-977-3509 David.R.Harrison@lmco.com to get on the email list for each week’s trips and meet locations then look for the Green Honda CR-V and a guy in a purple jacket. This activity is for members and non-members and is open on a drop in basis. No need to RSVP, or even show up on time. Stop by for half an hour if you want to see how they are biting. A current fishing license is all that is needed as extra rods and lures will be available. Chatfield is one of the best walleye lakes in the western USA and is right on the way home!

Working late? Here’s how to make time for fishing: go in an hour early on Monday and Tuesday, then leave two hours early Wednesday afternoon. I learned this from my friends in the LMCO golf leagues. Eventually your manager will expect you to leave early on “fishing day”.
