On Sunday, January 17, Pat Cummings with Nevada Department of Wildlife organized a ram capture near the mounts between Henderson and Boulder City .  Twenty-five rams were captured and relocated near Whitney Pockets, the Meadow Valley Mountains and Delamar Range .  Some of the rams were absolute boomers.  There were still plenty of rams in the River Mountains as they were in the Boulder City park the very next day.  There were about 50 volunteers for the capture and the Fraternity supplied a hot pizza lunch to all.  Attached you will find a picture program with captions below each picture.  I would like to thank Paul Harris and those involved including Keli Alexander.  I think the only injury of the day was to Matt Jeffress as one of the big rams wanted to take him out and Matt backed down.  It was more of a pride thing than a physical thing.

The Fraternity's next outing is this Saturday, January 30 th at 9:00 AM.  We will be rebuilding the apron at the Flipper project.  There is a detailed map attached.  This project should be a fun project and not a back breaker as long as we can get 20 to 25 volunteers.  We hope to see you there.

The annual fund raising banquet for Nevada Big Horns Unlimited, Reno will be Friday, April 9 th .  For information please go to www.nevadabighorns.org
