Summary

The Game Club organized a poaching study, consulted a DNR officer, planned turkey-feeding stations, reviewed its bylaws, and used an aircraft to locate game and drop salt blocks.

Evidence limits

The report records plans and volunteer activity but not the results of the study, the number of turkeys, or any enforcement action.

Sources

  1. Reports a committee to study poaching and recommend use of funds, a DNR officer's attendance, volunteers to locate turkeys and establish food stations, a by-law and officer-nominating committee, and thanks for an airplane used to locate game and drop salt blocks. It is a club report, not a wildlife census, enforcement case file, or management outcome. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
