NRA/CMP Marksmanship. Youth Training. Fishing. Archery. Trap. Suburban Rifle
League Team. Conservation. Safety Education
To whom it may concern,
The members of the Dormont-Mt. Lebanon Sportsmen’s Club wholeheartedly
endorse Ms. Diana Irey Vaughan in her re-election bid for Washington County
Commissioner. Diana is a long-time member of our club and an invaluable member of
our Legislative Committee. In that role, she has provided insightful leadership on
legislation involving the primary areas we support--firearms, conservation, and
environmental issues--giving a unique perspective from both the county and state level.
During our interactions we have found Diana to be a strong proponent of economic
growth, job creation, low taxes, and gun safety education.
Her tireless efforts to be a true public servant for Washington County are remarkable.
She travels frequently around the state touting the benefits of living and working in
Washington County. Diana oversees a $150,000,000 budget that includes prison
oversight and reform, health and human services, economic development, and
tourism.
If you need more information, please feel free to contact me @ 724.745.9794 or
[email protected]. We hope you support this worthy candidate as well.
Sincerely yours,
George Taylor
George Taylor President
Henry Day
Before the September meeting got under way, we had Ron Helsel and his crew from Henry Repeating Rifles come out to give us an opportunity to shoot their beautiful rifles! Ron had a myriad of lever action and break open rifles ripe for the picking! It was a HUGE success!! To my estimated count, there looked to be around 30 members there anxiously waiting for their turn to shoot. If you weren’t able to make it, I hope these pictures can illustrate the amount of fun that was had thanks to Henry Repeating Rifles!
NOTE: Ron, along with Henry, gave us that really awesome clock for the new Clubhouse!!
CWD Comments
PA GAME COMMISION WANTS HUNTER HELP TO CONTROL CWD
The Pennsylvania Game Commission is seeking public comment on a proposal to more actively involve deer hunters in the fight against chronic wasting disease, or CWD. Pennsylvania has three active DMAs totaling more than 8,000 square miles. Within DMAs, specific regulations apply regarding the hunting and feeding of deer:
It’s unlawful to intentionally feed deer within a DMA.
Hunters in DMAs may not use or possess urine-based deer attractants.
Deer harvested within a DMA may not be transported out of the DMA unless the carcass parts with the highest risk of transmitting the disease are removed first.
The commission released a draft report and is accepting comments through Feb. 29, 2020 — in time for implementation in the 2020-21 hunting seasons. The full 37-page report is available HERE.
For your convenience, a summary is below:
2020 CWD Response Plan Proposal Summary Background Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is an always fatal brain disease that affects members of the deer family (cervids). CWD is caused by prions (mis-shaped proteins) that create holes in the brain and eventually lead to death. There is currently no vaccine or treatment. CWD is spread from deer to deer and can potentially remain infectious in the soil for over a decade.
Once a deer is infected with CWD, it may take up to 24 months to show clinical signs. CWD has caused declines in deer populations in areas where CWD prevalence (the percentage of animals infected) is high. For example, in one area of Wyoming where CWD prevalence is currently greater than 35 percent, the mule deer population dropped from more than 14,000 in 2001 to approximately 6,000 in 2018. In another area of Wisconsin where 55 percent of adult male white-tailed deer are infected with CWD, research showed that 75 percent of infected deer died within the first year; three times the rate of uninfected deer. CWD was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2012 in a captive deer facility in Adams County and in three wild deer in Blair and Bedford counties. In 2018, 123 new positives were detected and CWD has continued to spread, with Disease Management Areas (DMA) now covering over 8,000 square miles. In 2013, CWD prevalence was 0.19 percent. In 2018, the CWD prevalence in Blair, Bedford and Fulton counties (DMA 2) has increased to nearly 5 percent. Data from other states with CWD show that with no change in management actions, CWD prevalence will likely exceed 30 percent in the center of DMA 2 in the next 10 to 20 years.
However, successes from other states provide guidance for Pennsylvania moving forward. With quick and aggressive management actions, New York and Minnesota were able to eliminate CWD in local areas after initial detection. For over 15 years, Illinois has been able to maintain CWD prevalence at low levels through persistent management actions. In the small area where it was originally detected in Illinois, CWD prevalence is currently at 3.3 percent.
Agency Responsibility
The mission of the Pennsylvania Game Commission is to manage Pennsylvania’s wildlife and habitats for current and future generations. This includes the deer and elk of the Commonwealth that are susceptible to CWD. It would be irresponsible of the Game Commission not to take the threat of CWD seriously. This response plan proposal was drafted and received input from subject matter experts in Pennsylvania, national CWD experts, other state wildlife agencies, non-governmental organizations, and universities. For more information go to: www.pgc.pa.gov. We want your input! Public Engagement CWD management in Pennsylvania will only be successful with the support and participation of stakeholders, including hunters and landowners. The Game Commission wants hunters to have the first opportunity to harvest more deer and successfully meet management objectives for CWD. Communications and outreach efforts will be implemented to increase public knowledge of CWD, its negative impacts, and to increase support of CWD management actions. In addition to consulting current scientific information and CWD experts, the Game Commission will gather public input in a variety of ways to guide revisions of the CWD Response Plan Proposal. Methods of gathering public input will include: public meetings, online forums, and mail surveys.
Plan Elements
New, Isolated Cases (i.e. when CWD is first detected in new areas)
After initial detection of CWD in new areas, hunters will be given the first opportunity to harvest more deer and collect more CWD samples for testing. The management objective in these new areas is to eliminate the disease before it becomes established in the deer population or in the environment (e.g. soil). A CWD Control Unit will be created, which will be a 3-mile radius area surrounding the new detection. The Game Commission will work with local hunters and landowners to collect a minimum number of samples to be confident of the true extent of the disease.
Some steps that could be taken include:
1. engage stakeholders and provide accurate and current information regarding CWD, 2. increase deer tags available, 3. expand hunting season lengths,
4. remove antler point restrictions, 5. mandatory sampling within CWD Control Units,
6. minimum sample size quota collected within CWD Control Units 7. agency-directed targeted removals of deer if management objectives are not met through hunter
harvest.
CWD-Established Areas
In areas where CWD is established (within 10 miles of other positive cases and greater than 1 percent prevalence for consecutive years), the management objective is to maintain CWD prevalence below 5 percent. This area would currently include Blair, Bedford, Fulton counties and immediately surrounding areas. With current science it is unlikely to eliminate CWD once established.
Management actions could include:
1. engage stakeholders and provide accurate and current information regarding CWD,
2. increase antlerless tags available,
3. expand hunting season lengths,
4. remove antler point restrictions, 5. agency-directed targeted removals of deer if management objectives (i.e. maintain CWD prevalence less
than 5 percent) are not met through hunter harvest.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission is seeking your input on this draft CWD response plan. After reviewing the response plan and/or the above summary, please take the online survey at: http://bit.ly/PGC-CWD.

ARC 2019 finished the year in strong fashion: tremendous enthusiasm - great weather - good shooting - 25 participants (including 3 RSO's who remained behind to run the extra match) - just a whole heap of FUN!! Once again the "Young Bucks" dominated the top scores (lower is better and are displayed as shaded) - Congrats to Dillon Kennedy for claiming the top gun slot with a 127.03. Nice shooting Dillon! Scores are determined by a combination of time and accuracy. Participants complete each of seven stages as an individual competitor with a raw time. Then additional time is added for shot placement (B or C zones), misses, procedural errors, and hitting the dreaded "no shoot" target. Most talked about stage was clearly Stage 6 - taking 9 shots at three stationary frames with two targets each - all while two swinging "No Shoot" targets are passing in the front or back of the frames. Extreme fun but quite challenging - leading me to the conclusion that there are two kinds of participants in the Pistoleer Match - those who have hit the "No Shoot" targets and those who will! Hope to see more of you come out and enjoy ARC 2020! CHEERS!! John Tupta
