Secretary's Corner

In honor of the gents that recently went bear hunting…to those that got one and to those that just had fun…I offer this recipe.

SIMPLY ELEGANT BEAR STEAK AND RICE
1 1/2 lbs. bear steak
1 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 large onions, cut into 1/2" slices, rings
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (4 oz.) can sliced mushrooms, drain & reserve liquid
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
3 cups hot cooked rice

Cut steak into thin strips. In a large skillet (oven-proof, if desired), brown meat in oil, using high heat. Add onions. Sauté until tender crisp. Blend soup, sherry, liquid from mushrooms, and garlic salt. Pour over steak. Add mushrooms. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 hour or until steak is tender. (Or cover and bake at 350 degrees.) Serve over beds of fluffy rice. Makes 6 servings.
Is it done yet??? I'm hungry.

Remember…If you have a recipe or a story to share, please call me at 781-424-1800 or email me at my new email address: www.crgcsecretary@yahoo.com

He is also looking for the use/loan of a tractor with a bucket and backhoe. If you have either of these and would like to discuss its use with Bill, please give him a call at 978-952-6696. Please call him if you want to lend a hand repairing/building a project, or if you have to satisfy your work requirements as well. Many hands make light work!

The 8th Annual Ironman Competition

Saturday, September 25, 2004 1:00 PM

The Ironman is an overall competition encompassing many of the Club's activities. The events will be 3D Archery, Bullseye Pistol, Casting, Trap Shooting, and some other madness we can dream up. Competitors participate in all the events. The person with the highest point total is declared the Concord Rod and Gun Club Ironman, with all the associated bragging rights.


If you have your own equipment, bow & arrows, .22 pistol, fishing rod and shotgun, bring them along. If you don't own anything, show up anyhow and we'll find something for you to use. The competition is open to all members and their guests. So drag some friends along. The cost is $20 per person, which covers pistol and trap ammunition, clays on the trap range and dinner.


Come out, try you hand at the different events, enjoy some laughs, and the camaraderie of the club.

Please sign up on the sign up sheet in the clubhouse, so we can have enough ammo and food for all the participants.

National Hunting & Fishing Day Marks its 33rd Year on Saturday, September 25,2004

Congress and President Nixon established NHF Day to recognize generations of hunters and anglers for the time and money they have donated to wildlife conservation programs--to date totaling over $23 billion and uncounted hours of work on habitat improvement and other projects. In the years since then, NHF Day has celebrated with thousands of special events organized by sportsmen's clubs, conservation groups and state wildlife agencies--together introducing many millions of Americans to hunting and fishing while highlighting their vital role in conservation.
