This Saturday, January 11, is an important day for local hunters. Camrose & District Fish & Game Association is holding their annual Big Game Measuring Day at Camrose Moose Lodge. This is an opportunity for club members and non-members alike to have clean antlers or horns professionally evaluated and scored. Or simply drop in to watch how the process works. Horns and antlers should ideally be at the hall by around 11:00 a.m., although doors will be open from 8:30 through noon. Come early for camaraderie, to swap stories or to enjoy a catered breakfast, which will be available for purchase. The forecasted weather looks to be much more inviting than last year’s measuring day, when outdoor thermometers showed a bone-chilling -40 degrees C. Despite this, over 30 entries were brought in for measuring! Camrose & District Fish & Game Association is an active club with knowledgeable and active members. The club may be best known for Pleasure Island Fish Pond, located five minutes east of Camrose. This pond is stocked several times yearly with four species of trout. The serene and inviting location features walking trails prized by visitors. New memberships will be offered to anyone interested in fishing, hunting or just being part of the great outdoors and willing to make a difference in the community.
