Rotary Club
The Mars Hill Rotary Club met at the Aroostook Health Center on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 a.m. The special speaker was Rotarian Roger Shaw. He spoke about Hunter Safety Class. This class is required in order to obtain a hunting license in Maine.
Over the years, Roger has taught 34 Hunter Safety Classes with over 1,000 students. He teaches the 10 Commandments of Hunting. Obtaining permission to hunt on another person’s property is very important. Some landowners have started to refuse permission due to abuse of their land by irresponsible ATVers, snowmobilers or hunters.
Hunting is important as it helps control the game population. The number of permits issued each year for moose, deer and bear is dependent on the recommendations of the state wildlife biologists.
