PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Treasurer’sMessage

Ispent some time between archery and rifle season with some non-hunters, not to be confused with anti-hunters. My husband’s aunts were in town and while they don’t hunt, they are always ready to test out our latest salami recipe and are appropriately excited to see the photos and hear our hunting stories. We talk about hunting with other hunters, with non-hunters, and sometimes defend our stance with anti-hunters. Within the group of hunters, you could debate the crossbow issue as well as the pros and cons of potential changes to hunting regulations. I encourage you to remain educated as the issues progress and open discussions with all kinds of peers. We archers are sometimes Mandy Garness tight lipped and very private about our hunting spots and also our political opinions… that needs to change. We need to continually be informing our neighbors and nonhunting friends about the issues. You can bet our opponents (i.e. Senator Molnar) are doing the same. Share an MBA post, forward an email, and recruit a new member. The best stocking stuffer you may give this year could be an MBA membership! Mandy Garness
