Wildlife Musings – Deer, Moose and
High Elevation Habitat
We’re enjoying another great firearms season for New Hampshire deer hunters. In
parts of the state, the deer population has recovered from declines following some severe winters beginning
in 2007-08, and deer numbers are improving in many other areas. Hope you all are having good luck in the
field!
We had another successful moose hunt in New Hampshire this fall, with 124 permits issued through this
year’s lottery. A total of 91 of those hunters got their moose, a 72% success rate. Meanwhile, studies are underway to help us understand the various factors causing a decline in the health and numbers of our moose,
which face the double whammy of winter tick infestations up north and brainworm in southern New Hampshire. You can see an article about this from our longtime moose biologist Kristine Rines on the Fish and
Game website (wildnh.com). The bottom line is that we are watching the situation closely and will adjust the
New Hampshire moose hunt accordingly.
Biologists have also been at work high atop New Hampshire’s craggy mountains, assessing the impact of
ridge-top wind farms on the wildlife that rely on these rare alpine habitats. New Hampshire’s high-elevation
zones form the core of the Bicknell thrush’s breeding habitat in the U.S. These fragile areas are also home to
the elusive American (pine) marten. Our study looked at how the installation of the wind farm affected these
and other species. While the jury is still out on the ultimate impact, the situation reminds us that there are always tradeoffs to energy production. How do you balance the long-range benefit of reduced emissions vs.
possible impact on wildlife? The decision-making process is much more complicated than people think.
Very much on my mind is coming up with a proposed budget for Fish and Game for the biennium that
begins next July. In our current financial situation, that remains a challenge. We are continuing to work
with the Legislative Sustainability Commission to find ways to fund the Department into the future. Please
stay attuned to that process. I also hope you’ll weigh in as opportunities arise in the coming months to contribute your point of view on revised ten year plans for both Game Management activities and the New
Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan. Public input is a critical part of these processes, and we value your
thoughts.
See you outdoors!

President’s Firing Point
Thanks for supporting Pemi F&G during 2014. It’s been a good year with a number of club improvements made or underway, including:

New clubhouse heating system, done with a lot of hard work by Stu Pitts.

Successful season using Range Safety Officers (RSO’s) – a concept introduced and managed by Bill
Orr. This will be continued and expanded in 2015.

New septic system based on a great deal of work by Pemi Life Member Tony Randall and coordination by Randy Enger. We now have full use of the club bathrooms!

Logging completed with revenue of about $47,000. This was needed to both clear for the septic and
to prepare for range maintenance. It paid for the septic and will help offset range maintenance costs.
One of those costs was the clearing of the hill behind the 200 yard firing line to improve access for
long range shooting.

Layout of improved berms for both long range and action shooting. Actual earthmoving will most
likely take place in the spring to accomplish several goals:
(1) provide higher berms behind the 50/100 yard covered range,
(2) modify the action bays so they can be used without conflict for long range shooters, and
(3) rebuild the high power rifle pits at 300 yards.

Fix for phone system at the indoor range. Fixes underway for the covered range and trap range
thanks to John Bartlett.
I look forward to a great 2015 with your continued help. As always, given the volunteer nature of the
club, we are looking for your participation to help with club activities and improvements. Please contact me
if you have ideas or skills to offer. Bob Klimm, 630-9408, [email protected].
A couple months ago, Joe Oustecky resigned from the vice president role. Per the Club’s by-laws, I appointed, with the Board’s approval, Skip Maloney to fill the remainder of Joe’s term. (All officers are
elected for one-year terms, so this appointment is good until the March elections.) To fill Skip’s vacancy, I
appointed, with the Board’s approval, Joe Oustecky. Directors are elected for 3-year terms, but when someone is appointed to fill a director vacancy, that appointment is in effect only until the next election, so Joes
seat comes up for election at the March elections. (It turns out that Skip’s term ended then anyway.)
By now you should have received your 2015 renewal letter. If you haven’t already sent in your renewal,
please think about doing so soon.

Notable Quote
From Robert Heinlein:
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised,
often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is
kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject
poverty.
This is known as “bad luck.”

Winter Biathlon
Howdy, biathletes and wannabees!
After five successful Summer Biathlon events, here is your heads-up on the 2015 winter biathlon dates.
We have scheduled events for Saturdays, January 17, February 14, and March 7. Cross country ski or snowshoe, your choice. Skate-ski offered if conditions/grooming is adequate. Also, sit-ski is offered for the
Adaptive Class participants. These dates are of course subject to adequate snow cover to allow grooming.
Register from 8:30 at the clubhouse. This year we are going to offer relays at 11:00 AND at 1:00 to accommodate those who cannot make the morning relay because of work, class, distance, etc. The shoot fee
continues to be $15 and you are welcome to shoot both relays for a fee of $25. The usual classes will be recognized (see the club website, www.pemi.org and click on biathlon in the home page menu). Printing out
the registration and release forms and arriving with them filled out speeds up the registration process.
As always any assistance in setting up Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning will be greatly appreciated! Please call Fred Allen at 603-968-9944 or email to [email protected] to let us know
when you can pitch in to make these events successful.
We have ten of the steel biathlon targets and all the other equipment stored in a new storage shed in a bay
just 50 feet to the east of the target line which will ease the burden of carrying them to the line. This 12 x 18
foot shed has just been constructed by P.R.E.P. Contractors and was funded by a grant from the NRA Foundation.

Pemi Bullseye Shooters off to Another
Successful Season
If it’s winter (and it’s sure felt like winter lately), that must mean that it’s time for indoor Bullseye shooting competition. Once again this year, Pemi’s Bullseye shooters are competing with about 10 other teams in
the state-wide New Hampshire Pistol League, and interest in the sport continues to grow here at the Club,
thanks in part to some of the improvements you may have noticed at the indoor range. In fact, there’s been
so much interest this year – about 20 shooters officially enrolled in the League - that Pemi has two separate
teams– Pemi Gold, and Pemi Blue – entered in the traditional one-handed competition, along with a few
more shooters competing in the Two-Handed division of the League. Most nights there are three lines
needed to accommodate everyone, beginning at 5 PM with the next two lines at 6 and 7.
Top shooter on the Blue Team this year, as in previous years, is Andrew Van Sickle, with Brice Bennett
currently holding that honor for the Gold Team. Andrew’s average of over 287 (out of 300 possible!) is also
the best in the entire League, and by a comfortable margin.
The season will be approaching halfway through by the time you read this, so anyone interested in joining one of the Teams will have to wait until next year - but those who want to learn about Bullseye shooting
can still stop in at the indoor range (Mondays, starting at 5 PM) and see what it’s all about, and even shoot
on a space-available basis (.22 rimfire only for indoor Bullseye). For more info call Dick McGrath (5364311) or John Bartlett (786-9720). And watch future issues of the Gazette as we get into Spring for announcements about outdoor Bullseye shooting with centerfire handguns, something the Bullseye Team
started this last year and hopes to continue in 2015.

“At The Point Of The Spear” Action Rifle Match
The Action Rifle Match commemorating the Vietnam War Battle of the Ia Drang Valley was held as
scheduled on Saturday 8 November. Ten hardcores braved the cold weather, fielding 8 AR-type rifles and 2
AK-types -- the match being restricted to the types of rifles used in the actual 1965 battle. The “Right To
Brag” went to Stu Pitts with a score of 71 out of a possible 80, shooting an AR15. It was expected that short
time limits and required magazine changes would probably not result in high scores; this proved to be the
case, with the final average score for all shooters being 49.6 out of 80 possible. (And a score of 71 is pretty
impressive.)
Should the range schedule permit, a similar type of Action Rifle match, allowing any and all military rifles fielded before 1965, is planned for 2015. Keep your eye on the Gazette and the website.
Many thanks to all who attended, see ya’ in 2015.

Target Frames for the 50– and 100-yard ranges
Cut each of two 12’ pieces of strapping — the Club has
a supply at the BBQ pit (between the clubhouse and the
garage) — into three pieces
25”
12”
We can always use more target frames, and you can help in two ways. First, give that shooter next to you some
small gentle hints to improve his shooting: slow down, staple the target onto the cardboard in the center of the frame,
not on the wood frame itself, and put the target at a distance you can actually hit it. (Please remind people to follow the
rule about no rapid fire. Rapid fire is defined as one shot every 2 seconds or faster.) And second, help keep frames
stocked on the sport ranges. They’re easy to make, and it’s a good winter project. Here’s how:
1. an 8’6” piece (the upright)
20”
2.
a 3’ piece (a crosspiece)
8’6”
3. and a 6” piece (a support piece)
36”
Notch one end of each 8’6” piece and saw a 12”-long
slot that will accept the wire on the range. This will be the
top of the upright. See figure 1.
Nail or screw the two 3’ crosspieces 20” apart (inside
measurement), with the upper crosspiece 25” from the top
of the uprights. Allow the crosspieces to extend 1” - 1 1/2”
beyond the uprights to help prevent splitting. See figure 2.
The 6” pieces can be added on the inside of the uprights
under a crosspiece to stiffen the whole frame.
That’s it!
Making frame “kits” and leaving them at the ranges is
good, too. It’s trivial to assemble a frame from the parts. If
you make frames at home, transporting just the kits is a lot
easier.
Thanks!

Training Opportunities
Over the course of the summer and fall, On Target Training provided multiple classes on handguns and carbines. Classes started in July and wrapped up in September with the popular Defensive Pistol/Carbine class.
Seth’s delivered the following classes at Pemi: Defensive Pistol, Level 1 and 2, Defensive Carbine, Level 1 and 2,
and “The fighting AK 47 carbine”. Seth focuses instruction on “learning by doing” so students shoot 500+
rounds in a typical class. In addition, Seth’s approach is to help students get out of a range mindset — static and
flatfooted on the range. OTT’s students are encouraged to move, shoot and keep their gun operating regardless of
the stress they are experiencing.
Several dozen Pemi members attended classes with OTT. Here is a comment from one of the members who
attended. “My wife and I took the carbine/pistol class taught by Seth Wish; we were very impressed. He has the
ability to hone in on each shooter’s needs and assist each shooter individually without the rest of the class feeling
left out. His teaching technique is very direct without being harsh or insulting and every adjustment he made to
my stance, speed, mind set, etc., was a positive one. My wife and I learned ways to act as a team in real world
situations. This is actually more than we had expected and we both will practice what we learned and definitely
benefit from it. We will absolutely be taking more of Seth’s classes next year.”
Starting in the spring of 2015, On Target Training will be back with multiple class offerings for our members.
These will include Fighting Shotgun, Pistol N Pink (women and handguns), Defensive Pistol levels 1, 2, and 3,
Defensive Carbine levels 1, 2, and 3, and the Fighting AK 47 pattern rifle. All of the sessions will involve one
full day of training and will provide the student with multiple drills to enhance their proficiency with their firearm.

We urge you to join the NRA! It remains the strongest barrier
protecting this club, you, and your rights from the “Antis” who
would take it all away!
The Pemi Valley Fish and Game Club is a “Recruiter Club”,
which has two benefits. You can sign up or renew via this form
(or via a link on our web site) and save $10 on an annual membership. And the Club receives a small commission for each member
who enrolls or renews this way.
The club is an affiliate member of the NRA as well as GONH. Keeping the NRA and GO-NH strong helps keep the Pemi
strong. So please support both organizations.
(To renew or enroll on-line, go to our web site —
