Happy Hunting

SEASON KICKOFF NEWS LETTER

DMAP Compliance

All of the members and owners look forward to a great 2016/17 hunting season. All members and guests are reminded they must comply with all DMAP record keeping procedures for deer killed. A DMAP record log with tags for the jawbones is located on a clipboard underneath the metal sink cabinet under the east side of the skinning shed. Scales are also there.

YOU ARE REMINDED THAT YOU MUST:

Weight each deer (both before and after gutting);

Photograph each deer;

Measure the diameter, circumference of beams at base, length of each, and distance between outside points on all buck antlers;

Send photos to Duckpond management.

Check each doe for lactation/presence of milk in breasts; and

Remove a jaw bone (both bucks and does) and be sure it is placed in the jaw bone basket in the cooler room. With respect to bucks which are mounted it is the responsibility of the member who or whose guest killed the buck to get the jaw bone from the taxidermist to the jaw bone basket and that it is tagged to match the deer number on the DMAP kill log.
