Trap and Snare Removal
Guide
On the club website there is a guide for removing
traps and snares from our hunting companions,

Editor’s Corner
Wow, already October. This last weekend
was Pheasant opener out here in North Da-
kota. One big takeaway, I need to work on
my shooting skills.
That said it was fun to be out and see the
dogs enjoying themselves doing what they
were meant to do. Besides, a tired GSP is a
good GSP around the house.
Shortly after the last newsletter was pub-
lished the Bismarck Kennel Club held its
show out here. Kelly entered Tango in his
first show, well actually four different ones.
Thank you to Mary and Erica Morris, Don-
na Schauer, and Lacy Bauer who were en-
tered in the shows for giving a rookie some
tips. It was cool to see Kelly’s handling
skills improve each time out.
On a side note we now have 122 members
in the club. That is largest number of mem-
bers I can remember the club having since I
joined in the late 90’s.
In the next coming weeks you will receive
the list of nominees for President, Vice-
President, and three Board positions that are
up for election at the annual meeting on Jan-
uary 10, 2017. At the November 15th
meeting nominations will be accepted from
the floor for any of these positions.
Have a great rest of the hunting season and I
look forward to seeing pictures of some of
your hunts..

Dog of the Year Awards www.gspcmn.org/doy
A new page on the website has been created listing
the Dog of the Year winners of the past. By going
through old newsletters I was able to find most of
the winners dating back to 1987. There are many
holes in the history that would be nice to get filled
in. If you have won any of the missing DOY
awards or know who has please email the infor-
mation to [email protected].

New Member Chair Looking for an individual that
would be interested in calling
new members to welcome them
to the club and answer any ques-
tions they may have or put them
in touch with others that can help
them out.
Newsletter Editor I’ve done the newsletter off and on since 2005. It’s overall has
been an pleasant undertaking for me that I have enjoyed. With
increased responsibilities at work I’m finding it difficult to allo-
cate the time for the newsletter.
The club currently publishes the newsletter six times per year.
If you have experience as a newsletter editor or feel like trying
something new, this could be your calling.
If you are interested in either of these positions please contact
an officer or board member with your interest or any questions.
Hunting Brags
We were hunting west of Mandan, ND on Saturday the 8th of
October. I was able to shoot a double of sharptail over a point
of nine year old RTK’s Torrential Rainstorm JH “Tori”.
If you have any good hunting pictures from this year please
email them to me at [email protected] with a brief
description and I will add them to an upcoming edition(s) of the
newsletter.
