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 you catch and to be aware of the
habitat in which they depend on for space, cover and flood. It is
hoped you will then protect this species from unwise use and
among your hunting group and promote conservation in your
community.
As CBH Small Game Coordinator under the office (Craig Fritz) Big
Game Vice President 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
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 is 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 Quilledshaft1@aol.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 afield
and develop good hunting skills. The CBH Small Game awards is
acknowledgment of that success.
