When leaving woods or field, please remove flag, roll up and place on the planter.

FIREARM DEER PERMIT - SHOTGUN, AND MUZZLELOADER
Check NJF&W Digest for dates.
No new deer stands (Permanent or Portable) without first notifying the hunting chairman.
SMALL GAME (Check State Digest for all State Regulations)
The number of small game hunters has been divided into two teams (A and B).
These teams will alternate hunting times on stocking days with one team hunting the early part of the
day (8:00 AM – 11:00 AM) and the other team hunting the early part (8:00 AM – 11:00 AM) of the next
stocking day. The following weekend, the teams will switch. After 11:00 AM the Small Game Hunting
Area will be open to all hunters. This change applies to stocking days only. The teams have been set up
but can be changed before the season starts and a schedule of hunting days will be posted in the
clubhouse. When you sign in to hunt put your team ID (A or B) next to your name.
There will be no Small Game Hunting during the months of November and December.
All dogs must be fitted with a bell before hunting during Small Game Season to insure safety of the dog.
All hunters must wear orange during pheasant hunting.
NOTE: All birds must be properly tagged and recorded prior to leaving the CSC after each hunt.
MISCELLANEOUS
If there is a conflict on what to do if two hunters occupy stands that are too close:
The hunter who is signed in first and has identified his location on the map will remain in his stand if he
so chooses.
The other hunter will relinquish his stand and find another location on the map that is not tagged or
occupied.
Situations like this can easily be avoided if everyone follows proper sign-in and map tagging procedures.
Hunters are reminded that an infraction of these rules and regulations may result in suspension or loss
of hunting privileges, and serious infractions may lead to actual dismissal from the Club.
Concerns or questions may be addressed at the monthly Club meeting.
Please note: NO GUESTS are permitted to Hunt, Target or Trap Shoot, etc. at any time.
Copies of insurance and licenses must be provided prior to any hunting activity.

NO GUESTS are permitted to Hunt, Target Shoot, or Trap shoot at any time.
There will be no target practice (firearm) during the CSC swimming season.
THE RIFLE RANGE IS CLOSED ON SATURDAYS and during pheasant hunting.
Range is open Sunday from 10:00am until sundown and weekdays during the hours of 10:00am to
2:00pm, unless there is no one hunting prior to 10:00am. In that case, the range is open for use.
Anyone interested in using the rifle range must first check to see there are no Hunters signed in to hunt
on CSC grounds at that time. If there are hunters signed in hunting, the rifle range is closed until they
leave the woods and sign out. NO EXCEPTIONS!
The same holds for the hunters. If a member is signed in using the rifle range, prior to you coming to
hunt, you must wait until they are finished and they sign out, before you go in to hunt. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Anyone using the rifle range must sign in/out of the hunters log book which is located inside the club
house on the stand by the back door. Sign in/out, on the rifle range board and put the red flag on the

after leaving the range.
