2008 Training schedule
and Field Rules
Norm
Licht is again graciously allowing our
chapter members to train their dogs on
his property located on Cedar Run Road.
This property is open for dog training on
Wednesdays and Saturdays starting on April
26th and ending
on August 29, 2008.
Turkey
hunting is not allowed and do not pick
any mushrooms, as those are
Norm’s. Please respect his property
by picking up your spent hulls and any
other trash that you created.
A sign-up
board is located on our equipment trailer
door. Everyone is requested to sign up on
the board before using the fields. If you
have more than one dog to train then, you
will need to sign up more than once to
allow other members to use this property.
Please do not sign up twice in a row,
allow a couple of our other members a
chance before you sign up the second
time.
Also, we
have a bicycle flag. The person that is
going out in the field to train will set
it up as a signal that another person is
still in the field training. The hills on
Norm’s property cause a short
distance of sight. Therefore, you cannot
always see if someone is all ready in the
south field training. The flag should
help to eliminate that unsafe situation.
If the flag is up, do not go out in the
field.
New
rules Apply
The pond
is off limits to everyone during
Michigan’s "quite time of the
year" (April 15 to and including
July 15). Therefore, please, stay
away from the pond during these dates!
A
no-gunfire (of any kind), "Quite
Zone", has been established on
the northern end of the property. This
includes the pond and north field!
Live rounds and blanks are allowed in the
south (back) field only.
Please
also note that Dan Hall has disced the
field next to the woods on the east side.
Stay out of his newly planted area and
stay on his existing two tracks that he
drives.
