PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
Hello everyone,
December already, Happy Holidays!
Everyone has safely returned from their hunting
trips. I haven’t been successful yet, but there are
still some good deer hunting days left. Muzzle
loader season too – maybe
I’ll get one.
The wild Game Dinner
Committee would sure
appreciate anY extra meat
anyone could donate. They
always provide us with a
great meal and party.
It is also voting time.
Please exercise your right if you are a nonprobationary member. Ballots are available at
the Bar thru the December meeting night. We
are a 900 plus member club and for the past
several years we have only had about 15-20% of
eligible members vote. Your final representation
begins at the ballot box. We have several
positions open and lots of candidates to choose
from.
December also brings the renovation of the
ceiling in the meeting room. We have put this
huge project off as long as possible. The project
is going to start on the 21st and finish in early
January. Extra labor as always will be needed
and if you can spare a few hours, please contact
Jeff Parker, Barry, or myself.
If you are reading this before December 8th,
don’t forget the kids Christmas Party. Santa
always arrives shortly after the “Country
Breakfast” and is here until all the little ones
wishes have been heard. Mrs. Claus will be here
to help again this year, and rumor has it that
they are bringing plenty of toys.

~ Officer’s Corners ~
~ Vice President ~
This being my last article in the Multi-Laker
as Vice President, I would like to say Thank
You for the opportunity. I did enjoy it.
Also congratulations to our newest
officers and hoard members.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I want to
wish all the membership a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year!
See you at the club.
~ Sam Mullins
~ Membership Secretary ~
This is my last column for the Multi-Laker.
After serving as Membership Secretary for 4
years it is time to let someone else take on the
responsibility. I have to say that being an
officer and the Membership Secretary, really let me use
my work experience to help the club in down economic
times. We were able to maintain the membership
numbers, which is something to be proud of. A lot of
clubs lost membership and struggle to survive.
If we all work together we can help Multi-Lakes stay
strong. This may require some changes in how we run
things and how we interact with the community. We
have a great club and should want to show it off and to
encourage others to join.
Thanks for the opportunity and learning experience.
Remember everyone has the right to sponsor up to
6 new members a year!
See you around the Club!
Don’t forget to sponsor at least one new member!
~ Mark Geiger
~ Recording Secretary ~
~ Treasurer ~
Well I hope everyone had a great hunting
season.
It has been a pleasure this year being the
Treasure, and I’d like to thank everyone
for the support they have given me.
A special thanks to Terry Martin!!
Wild Game Dinner is looking for some
donations. If you have any please call Barry Anderson
or myself so you can drop it off.
The Wild Game Dinner will be Saturday, February
23rd. We are looking for some help with the dinner.
It’s a good way to get your hours and have a great
dinner.
I would like to say good luck to everyone that is
running for the board and officers positions.
Also, I would like to wish everyone safe and happy
holidays.
I will see you all around the club,
~ John

I am hopeful that in the future I will be running for a
position as an Officer or Board member.
Good Luck to the new Officers and Board, thanks for
running for office.
See you around the MLCA!!

Chairmen’s Meeting Minutes – November, 2013
There was no Chairmen’s Meeting scheduled for November.
~ Spouses Night ~

~ Hunt Photos ~
Well, I encouraged everyone to send me hunt photos - even
down to a single squirrel, and since no one else sent any this
month, I guess I’ll have to fulfill my own request.
This isn’t so much about getting a deer., as it is about the gun I
used and A LOT of luck. With the gun, not the deer.
I had bow hunted all week, and due to schedules, opening day of
firearms season was going to be my only chance with a rifle.
Coyotes in the area were making sure that deer were scarce, and I
had only seen a few (out of bow range) all week. So, needless to
say I was getting desperate. I took a big chance & decided to go with a .45 caliber flintlock longrifle - I had
never shot a deer with anything but modern rifles in my life.
As soon as I sat down in my blind, I went to prime the pan and realized there was no flint in the gun. Bad
luck. No time to think about what happened, I just started the ½ mile trek out, picking up pieces of limestone
on the way that looked promising to hold some bits of flint.
With hammer in hand & just about to start, I spotted a rock that looked different from everything else in the
area. I grabbed it, and on the first whack a nice sharp flake fell off. Dumb luck. I broke it in half with pliers
to get it down to size, and then wrapped some duct tape around it to help it hold in the jaws of the lock.
I gave it test, and got sparks. Good luck. I didn’t dare try again, because whatever this rock was, it was way
softer than flint, and I only gave it a 50/50 chance to spark a second time.
Back out to the blind. Sat down at just before 10AM. Just before 11:00, a doe wanders in and stops at about
20 yards - broadside. I had already decided that this being my last day, I was not going to pass up anything.
The gun went off flawlessly. Fantastic - almost impossible - luck.

Member’s Son Wins National Walleye Tournament
This past August I experienced the great joy of watching my son win the Cabalas Master Walleye championship and the
National team tournament. Many of us have dreamed of fishing professionally and winning - and it sure was fun to live that
dream through my son. To be honest it was no real surprise to me, and after you read this story you will understand why.
This story was written the weekend after 9-11-2001 in our family tent. That is important because, although true, this is a
bit more than a fish story. I hope you enjoy. ~Rich Carlson

The rogue fish first made its existence known to the
man by a light tap. Little did the fly fisherman know,
much like the tapping of an armed thief in the night, this
tap would signal an explosion, an hour-long explosion,
binding one fish and one man …for life.

Camp was a happy place that warm September
weekend. The door to the tent was more like a portal
through which one entered a world of comfort,
brotherhood and memories. Complete with bunks, carpet,
wood-stove, and cook shack, the big white wall tent was
special. Everyone present was tied together by his love of
the outdoors; one either belonged there or did not. After
dining on great food, retelling old jokes, and downing a
few cold ones each tried to sleep, awash in his own
thoughts. Visions were not only dancing in everyone's
head but across the river surface as well. Sleep came
quickly, for just outside, the river sang its ancient siren
tune. In the early morning mist each would answer the call.
Erich felt the fish bump the line, the expensive
equipment transmitting the movement instantly to this
fine-tuned fisherman. The rod tip swept back, shock
waves engulfing Erich's senses as Brutus slammed first
into one fly, then the other. The enraged monster
accelerated to the surface like a demented depth charge
intent on exploding above. The explosion sent splashes of
doubt through Erich. Brutus easily cleared the surface,
spraying the entire boat. Impacting the water, he sent a
tidal wave in all directions. The imploding void sent a
mushroom of water as high as the stunned fisherman.
Again and again Brutus defied gravity, the line screaming
from the reel as its handle whirled to oblivion. Brutus

with shock after shock. Erich quickly realized he was in
those hideous part dog-part man creatures who terrorize
the north woods, that had startled him? No. Relieved, he for the battle of his life.
Chad, ever the ally, quickly started the motor and
remembered that they would not be back for at least six
years and a month. Staring out at the river, Erich sensed a lifted the anchor. He knew this battle was his too, the
