KAMO May, 2020 Newsletter
Hello all KAMO members and friends,
This is KAMO President Mark Walters with my end of the monthly
Newsletter. Last night we hel a Board of Directors meeting by
telephone and came up with a short term plan for KAMO and we will speak
by phone again in mid July. As of today KAMO is allowing one on ones or
one adult with two children from the same family. No groups any larger
have been given the green light.
We made the decision based on the fact that we had very few
examples of anything larger happening with any other organizations. I
also think that it is important to realize that our insurance does not
cover any virus related issues.
There is a solid belief that by mid July things will be much better in the new world of Covid 19 and that we can start planning fun events like pontoon rides, pheasant hunts and The Joe.
To our friends in Dodge County that were hoping to start a new chapter when life for all of us changed in March, you have not been forgotten, it would be a blessing for KAMO and your area to make this happen once the Covid situation is more clear With that I am going to say goodbye for this month and as always thank you for all that you do for KAMO!

Website – traffic to our website has been very low. An exception is that we have had bot traffic (non human) to our site. That sounds like something out of a sci fi movie, but there is such a thing. We had several updates run on the site recently. During these updates, no harm to ur site was indicated from the bots (Bots can often be friendly,whatever they are).
Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP)
The DMAP program makes private lands available to groups such as ours in return for some consultation to the landowner from the DNR and possibly completion of a work project from the group using the property. The program is to help the landowner reduce the deer population in a controlled fashion. There aren?t many user groups in DMAP, so the prospect of a KAMO chapter being able to access a DMAP is excellent. Additionally, many DMAP landowners often invite the group in for other activities such as wildlife viewing, camping, small game or turkey hunting.
KAMO hears from the Wisconsin DNR?s DMAP manager – Bob Nack on occasion. Here are his last three notices, all sent recently:
#1 –
I?m sharing an invitation to KAMO that I received from a DMAP cooperator with 529 acres in Florence County. As you can see, he indicated doe-only deer hunting, spring turkey, small game, and trapping. He offered accommodations as well?if you need to travel. I?m not sure if he would charge anything for the overnight stay. He also offered the use of crossbow equipment. He has a business of providing hunts for people in wheelchairs. Take a look at his web page: www.wheelchairwhitetails.org
This is a pretty unique offering that I?m hoping KAMO can take advantage of in some capacity. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
#2 –
Greetings ? I connected with this DMAP cooperator that wanted to offer some mentored hunting opportunities on his 34 acre property in Waupaca County . The application is dated 2016 but he confirmed today that he is still interested. Feel free to reach out to him if you think it would work for your organization or program.
#3 – Recent applicant form Green County . This is what the D.N.R. receives and they immediately try to connect a user group to the new site.

Learn To Hunt Program
Another important program to connect people with hunting is the state?s Learn to Hunt program . KAMO and other outdoor minded groups often host Learn to Hunts (LTH). An explanation of the Wisconsin LTH program is linked below. Some features of an LTH include: There is an educational component attached to and preceding the event. No need for a license on part of the participant. Hunt may be held outside the regular season or physical boundary time/ place.
Since an LTH class must be led by a Wisconsin Hunters Education Instructor, having an HE instructor in or available to your chapter can be important. Local wardens are often interested in mentoring a child in your group and/ or helping with the educational portion of the LTH. When KAMO does its December deer hunt and in some chapters, turkey, small game, and waterfowl, they are LTH.
If your chapter is interested in LTH or other DNR outdoor skills event (Learn to Fish, Angler/ Aquatic Education Instructor, Learn to Hunt – deer, waterfowl, small game, turkey, pheasant, and bear), you need to have a background check done prior. If you want to mentor a kid at KAMO?s ?Joe Hunt? or any LTH or R-3 class, you will also need this background check.
THIS IS SEPARATE FROM KAMO?S BACKGROUND CHECK. Please consider doing it now while things are quiet. It is free to you. Please contact Mike for a background check application form – 4100-217.
Here is information on Learn to Hunts generally.
https://dnr.wi.gov/education/outdoorSkills/lth.html
Experience necessary to become a voluntary dnr mentor:
What are the qualifications of a Volunteer Mentors
1.Be at least 18 years of age. 2. 5 years hunting experience. 3. Demonstrate a willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to carry out program responsibilities. 4.Demonstrate a sincere interest in facilitating course ethics based upon responsibility and respect. 5.Pass a background check and complete Form 4100-217 [PDF] and send it to the Learn to Hunt coordinator. This might not open – contact Mike to have one sent to you electronically.
Powderhook
Eric Dinger of Lincoln, Nebraska developed an app for outdoors people to communicate through. He has spoken at a number of R 3 conferences about the crucial need for more people to be brought into hunting and the launch of the PowderHood site as an outdoor introduction/ mentor link-up tool. This app has now been adopted by the Wisconsin D.N.R. in order to establish mentoring “camps” in Wisconsin communities.. Use of the site is free and has no obligations attached to it for use. It might be worth using to find more participants for our chapters.
Hunter Mentor Training Program
The state has a mentor training program and the brochure link is below. One advantage to becoming a trained mentor is that you go on the state?s liability insurance policy for certain hunts. The link can be copied and pasted into your browser.

KAMO May, 2020 Newsletter
Hello all KAMO members and friends,
This is KAMO President Mark Walters with my end of the monthly
Newsletter. Last night we held a Board of Directors meeting by
telephone and came up with a short term plan for KAMO and we will speak
by phone again in mid July. As of today KAMO is allowing one on ones or
one adult with two children from the same family. No groups any larger
have been given the green light.
We made the decision based on the fact that we had very few
examples of anything larger happening with any other organizations. I
also think that it is important to realize that our insurance does not
cover any virus related issues.
There is a solid belief that by mid July things will be much
better in the new world of Covid 19 and that we can start planning fun
events like pontoon rides, pheasant hunts and The Joe.
To our friends in Dodge County that were hoping to start a new
chapter when life for all of us changed in March, you have not been
forgotten, it would be a blessing for KAMO and your area to make this
happen once the Covid situation is more clear
With that I am going to say goodbye for this month and as always
thank you for all that you do for KAMO!

Website – traffic to our website has been very low. An exception is that we have had bot traffic (non human) to our site. That sounds like something out of a sci fi movie, but there is such a thing. We had several updates run on the site recently. During these updates, no harm to ur site was indicated from the bots (Bots can often be friendly,whatever they are).
Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP)
The DMAP program makes private lands available to groups such as ours in return for some consultation to the landowner from the DNR and possibly completion of a work project from the group using the property. The program is to help the landowner reduce the deer population in a controlled fashion. There aren?t many user groups in DMAP, so the prospect of a KAMO chapter being able to access a DMAP is excellent. Additionally, many DMAP landowners often invite the group in for other activities such as wildlife viewing, camping, small game or turkey hunting.
KAMO hears from the Wisconsin DNR?s DMAP manager – Bob Nack on occasion. Here are his last three notices, all sent recently:
#1 –
I?m sharing an invitation to KAMO that I received from a DMAP cooperator with 529 acres in Florence County. As you can see, he indicated doe-only deer hunting, spring turkey, small game, and trapping. He offered accommodations as well?if you need to travel. I?m not sure if he would charge anything for the overnight stay. He also offered the use of crossbow equipment. He has a business of providing hunts for people in wheelchairs. Take a look at his web page: www.wheelchairwhitetails.org
This is a pretty unique offering that I?m hoping KAMO can take advantage of in some capacity. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
#2 –
Greetings ? I connected with this DMAP cooperator that wanted to offer some mentored hunting opportunities on his 34 acre property in Waupaca County . The application is dated 2016 but he confirmed today that he is still interested. Feel free to reach out to him if you think it would work for your organization or program.
#3 – Recent applicant form Green County . This is what the D.N.R. receives and they immediately try to connect a user group to the new site.

Learn To Hunt Program
Another important program to connect people with hunting is the state?s Learn to Hunt program . KAMO and other outdoor minded groups often host Learn to Hunts (LTH). An explanation of the Wisconsin LTH program is linked below. Some features of an LTH include: There is an educational component attached to and preceding the event. No need for a license on part of the participant. Hunt may be held outside the regular season or physical boundary time/ place.
Since an LTH class must be led by a Wisconsin Hunters Education Instructor, having an HE instructor in or available to your chapter can be important. Local wardens are often interested in mentoring a child in your group and/ or helping with the educational portion of the LTH. When KAMO does its December deer hunt and in some chapters, turkey, small game, and waterfowl, they are LTH.
If your chapter is interested in LTH or other DNR outdoor skills event (Learn to Fish, Angler/ Aquatic Education Instructor, Learn to Hunt – deer, waterfowl, small game, turkey, pheasant, and bear), you need to have a background check done prior. If you want to mentor a kid at KAMO?s ?Joe Hunt? or any LTH or R-3 class, you will also need this background check.
THIS IS SEPARATE FROM KAMO?S BACKGROUND CHECK. Please consider doing it now while things are quiet. It is free to you. Please contact Mike for a background check application form – 4100-217.
Here is information on Learn to Hunts generally.
https://dnr.wi.gov/education/outdoorSkills/lth.html
Experience necessary to become a voluntary dnr mentor:
What are the qualifications of a Volunteer Mentors
1.Be at least 18 years of age. 2. 5 years hunting experience. 3. Demonstrate a willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to carry out program responsibilities. 4.Demonstrate a sincere interest in facilitating course ethics based upon responsibility and respect. 5.Pass a background check and complete Form 4100-217 [PDF] and send it to the Learn to Hunt coordinator. This might not open – contact Mike to have one sent to you electronically.
Powderhook
Eric Dinger of Lincoln, Nebraska developed an app for outdoors people to communicate through. He has spoken at a number of R 3 conferences about the crucial need for more people to be brought into hunting and the launch of the PowderHood site as an outdoor introduction/ mentor link-up tool. This app has now been adopted by the Wisconsin D.N.R. in order to establish mentoring “camps” in Wisconsin communities.. Use of the site is free and has no obligations attached to it for use. It might be worth using to find more participants for our chapters.
Hunter Mentor Training Program
The state has a mentor training program and the brochure link is below. One advantage to becoming a trained mentor is that you go on the state?s liability insurance policy for certain hunts. The link can be copied and pasted into your browser.
