BCFG Admin – Bucks County Fish & Game

DUES ARE GOING UP

BCF&G is no different than any other business, we are not immune to INFLATION. It has been 10 plus years since the last increase in membership dues. The BOG’s try to keep cost down for the membership but the cost to operate programs and maintain the property so it looks nice have escalated in the past 2 years. So because of these reasons the dues will be increase as of September 1, 2022. The increase will impact you as an individual when you renew your membership on your anniversary date after September 1st, 2022.

MEMBERSHIP ORIENTATION MEETINGS

Membership Orientation Meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday @ 9:00 AM each month.

Steel Targets arrive at BCF&G Ranges

The next time you’re at the ranges try plinking at the newly installed steel targets. Please shoot responsibly, NO RAPID FIRE (2 seconds between shots)

ALL MEMBERS !!!!

A lot of members have been asking about the annual renewal stickers. With the new gate card system, we are no longer sending out the annual renewal stickers. If anyone is unsure when their membership expires, please reach out to the Membership Secretary at membershipbcfg@gmail.com.
