The Satuit Nimrod

We will be holding our annual Turkey Shoot   on Sunday, November 23rd, starting at noon and running until 4:00 pm.

All the usual games will be in action: Hanging Targets, Swinging Targets, Trap, Lucky 22s, Kids Archery and the, always popular, Zombie Shoot! We'll need volunteers to help run the games, particularly if it's a cold, or damp day so that those running games can warm-up in the clubhouse. Add your name to the roster on the chalk board in the clubhouse if you would like to help at the shoot.

There's also a few poster size and letter size flyers on the center desk in the Clubhouse if you know businesses that will display them.

We will hold a Cleanup Day to get our grounds and clubhouse spick and span on Saturday, November 8th starting at 1:00 pm until we are done.

Skeet and Trap

Skeet is shooting on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Trap is  shooting on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings. See the Calendar section below for times.

Pumpkin Drop

Moving the time for this year's Pumpkin Drop to later than in past years did attract a few more kids. Relatively new member, Bill O'Neil, invented a new game to keep the little darlings occupied while waiting for the drop — Bowling with Boulders where large stones are used as bowling balls to smash unbroken clay birds that were found on the skeet field.  Photos of the drop can be viewed here.

Quotes of the Month

"Because you won't get gun control by disarming law abiding citizens. There's only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up, and if you don't actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time."

~ Ronald Reagan

"Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark."

~ Robert A. Heinlein

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."

 ~ George Washington

Game Departments Warning Hunters About
AI-Generated Misinformation

by Guy Sagi, posted on November 5, 2025 in NRA American Rifleman.

Two states are already warning hunters to not rely on the artificial intelligence-generated responses (snippets) that appear after a web search for state regulations. They are often wrong and increase the risk of sportsmen unknowingly violating game laws.

Officers in Idaho encountered hunters afield before opening day earlier this year. When confronted, they produced their smartphones and showed the wardens the incorrect snippet.

In light of the fact this problem is relatively new, they were issued only warnings rather than citations. After further research, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game discovered AI lifted the dates from a proposal that was never approved. Taking a deeper dive into the misinformation, regulations for a river in Arkansas were listed under those for a waterway in Idaho. The locations had similar names, but were not identical.

On Oct. 15 the department issued a warning. “Fish and Game Conservation Officers are encountering people in the field who are using AI and search engines and getting incorrect information, which has led to citations. Remember, getting bad information off the Internet is no excuse for violating seasons and rules. We know how handy search engines and AI can be, but when it comes to hunting and fishing regs, go straight to the source.”

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department also reminded the public to refer to the agency website, regulations and official sources when researching regulations. It had discovered AI was generating incorrect information from failed legislative bills listed on the Wyoming State legislature website. 

“Individuals who rely on inaccurate AI-generated interpretations of Wyoming wildlife laws could face hunting or fishing violations,” said Aaron Kerr, law enforcement supervisor for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. “Hunters and anglers are accountable for following published rules and regulations. Failure to follow these carries the potential for fines, jail time, or suspension of hunting and fishing privileges.”

Officials recommend consulting the most up-to-date source for information when planning a hunt and prior to leaving. It is found on every state’s regulation website or in the printed booklet published annually.
