All Applicants Must be Sponsored by a GSLA Member

Instructions:

Our application is designed for the GSLA to get to know you. Please answer all questions fully and honestly. If feel you need clarification, please contact an officer through email (listed under the officers button).

GSLA is not for everyone because we are searching for the most ethical, safe and responsible bowhunters to participate in our whitetail deer management program. One of GSLA's primary goals is the harvesting of mature does in order to reduce the deer herd in Greenwich. If you are not interested in hunting mature doe deer, GSLA is not the organization for you. We donate entire doe deer to the Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County in Stamford, CT.

GSLA does not take on new members frequently and reserves the right to accept or deny any membership application.

In order to provide time for the GSLA's administrative procedures, applicant introduction and new member indoctrination, applications for membership will be considered only between March 1 and July 30 (not soon before, during, or immediately after the deer hunting season).
