Our sporting clays tournament attendance was up significantly, as was our chartered and self-chartered freshwater fishing trip attendance, as Randy Rowley led more self-chartered fishing trips in 2024. Dove hunts were down at the Holland day lease, as it was hopefully an off year. The numbers of participants for our guided upland bird hunts and duck hunts are lower, but that’s probably due to higher prices for the guided upland bird hunts and inflation.

In 2021 and 2022 we had a large number of people join the Club due to the requirement that Bartlett season dove lease members be FCS members. Not as many people joined in 2023 and especially in 2024, as Brett Harbers raised his lease price significantly and the hunting was poor except on opening day.
