Attention Gem City Outdoorsmen Club Members

10/29/2024

We recently had to remove a tree stand from club property because it was causing damage. This is a reminder that all tree stands must be used responsibly to protect our environment and club grounds.

Do Not Use Screw-In Steps or Hangers: These are strictly prohibited due to the damage they cause to trees.

Avoid Damage: Tree stands should be installed carefully to prevent any impact on club property.

Seasonal Removal: Don’t forget to take down your stand by the end of deer hunting season!

Help us keep our grounds safe and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation!

Two important items:

1. It has been reported that some members who are hunting the GCOC property are accessing their hunting areas by crossing an active rifle range. This action is creating a potentially dangerous situation. One never knows when someone who is authorized to use the range(s) is preparing to fire rounds down range.

We are installing DANGER signs around the periphery of both ranges. Effective immediately, anyone found entering a gun range from an unauthorized location is subject to immediate loss of his/her membership. This ruling does not apply if/when the range has been closed for a club sanctioned event.. If such an event is to take place you will be notified by way of this email or our website.

Thank you for your cooperation.

2. Anyone wishing to be considered for the GCOC board of directors must have been with the club, in good standing, for 2+ years and must submit his/her name in writing to the current board by posting your desire on the bulletin board in the clubhouse before the December meeting.
