CBH & SAA Small Game Program
Since 1970 CBH has used a one of a kind small game program. The important point being that you have learned about this species of pest, game bird, game animal, fish and other species and with your bow arrow have harvested one. With knowledge comes responsibility to wisely use your catch and to be aware of the habitat in which they depend on for space, cover and food.
It is hoped you will then protect this species from unwise use among your hunting group and promote conservation in your community.
As CBH Small Game Coordinator under the office the Big
Game Vice President (Craig Fritz) it is my job to register your harvested
species and keep a record for you. Awards are given for ten species and every
five additional species taken. Thirty-five is the Golden Eagle Special award and
offered membership in the Golden Eagle Society of small game hunters. There is a
fee to cover the cost of special patches and a plaques with your name as
awarded. Double Eagle is fifty species. The cost of recording is one dollar per
species.
Also available is the "Big Carp" over ten pounds and "Big Tilapia" over three pounds and it cost $2.00 per application. These big fish list are ranked according to weight and are part of the "Big Game Record Book" Look in the March CBH Newsletter for an updated listing. A two year award is given for the largest carp and tilapia taken and registered at the "Big Game Banquet."
My E-mail address is
quilledshaft@mac.com and it is my intent to keep everyone up to date by monthly articles in CBH Newsletter. This program was designed with the youth in mind to encourage them to study and learn about new species of game and go
a field and develop good hunting skills. The CBH Small Game awards is acknowledgment of that success.
NEW, collectable icon cards which every member will receive for each new
species. In addition four past species cards can be redeemed by ordering them
and a $5.00 (total) donation to the CBH Small Game Program. They are available
now. For each new species four recorded species cards can be ordered.
