8/18/2010 Notice Regarding High County Taxidermy

OBH has received the following letter:

Hi Crag (OBH President),  

FYI - Matt Schilling at High County Taxidermy is holding countless antlers, capes, hides, rugs, etc. from many hunters in the greater Albany area. He has had in his possession my antlers and cape since November 2008. I contacted him in May of this year and he told me that he had issues with his tanner, but everything was fine and that he would deliver later this year. I was notified today through a reliable source that he has lost his license. His property is blocked with a no trespassing sign, and now he is not returning calls. I contacted the Oregon State Police to file a complaint. I am also going to file a lawsuit if he does not respond in a timely manner. We need to work together to make sure this guy is held accountable. Please broadcast this to all Oregon Bow Hunter Association members. Thank you for your time and attention regarding this matter.  

Mark Nicholson

Note: The author of this letter is a relative of the President of OBH and is believed to be a very reliable source. If anyone has further information or finds this information to be inaccurate please, immediately contact Craig Starr.

12/26/09 Archery Clubs Adopt Special 2010 Tournament Rates to Encourage OBH Membership

Two OBH affiliated archery clubs recently adopted fees for their 2010 3-D trail shoots that will reward membership in OBH. The Bend Bowmen in Bend , Oregon and the Wapiti Bowmen in Lebanon , Oregon have both recently adopted fees which provide a $3 discount at their 3-D shoots when the shooter presents his/her current OBH membership card at the fee booth. (NOTE:  Green Valley Archers also offer a discount for OBH membership at their 3-D shoots.)

Craig Starr, President of Wapiti Bowmen, said, “I hope that the discount will attract new members to OBH from Oregon ’s 30,000 plus bow hunters.  If you shoot at 8 to 10 3-D shoots a year like I do, the discount will pay for the cost of an annual OBH membership. I hope that other clubs will decide to offer a discount for OBH membership as well.”

Oregon ’s bow hunters have long benefited as OBH has protected and expanded archery hunting opportunities in Oregon . Now, with the discounts being offered to OBH members at more 3-D trail shoots in 2010, an OBH membership will be even more valuable.
