Good day Nature Coast Back Country Horsemen,
Good day Nature Coast Back Country Horsemen,
It’s November and that means hunting season! As you all know, general deer season started November 1st and runs through November 23rd. I know most riders just give the hunters their short season and stay out of the forest, but for those that do continue riding it’s a must to wear orange and be as visible as possible. Generally, I find it’s safer to ride during the mid morning to early afternoon hours and avoid the dawn and dusk hunt times. Over the summer I saw a lot of deer and as such, there are a lot of hunters out there this season. Please be safe!
We will have our November meeting on Thursday 11/20 at the Brooksville Enrichment Center on John Gary Grubs Blvd.The meeting will start at 6 pm. This will be a pot luck dinner with NCBCH providing the main dish so bring a side or a desert. See map below for directions. We look forward to hearing what everyone has been doing over the summer.
Our membership drive starts now and we are hoping to attract new members as well as draw folks back that may have gone inactive. We have a lot of exciting things in store and it is important that we shore up our memberships. We will be holding elections in January so if anyone is interested in running for an office or board of directors seat we will gladly add you to the ballot. As President I will be running again this year but in all fairness if someone has a desire to run for office I fully support the election process.
Individual: $30/year
Family: $35/year
We also encourage everyone to consider joining the Enrichment Center. They’ve been very generous in letting us use their facility, and we want to continue that partnership—it’s been a great venue for us.
Updates at the meeting will include a recap of the BCHFL meeting last month as well as project updates and what to expect going into the 2025/26 season.
I look forward to seeing everyone on the 20th. Have fun wherever you ride and as always, be safe!!
