The 32nd Annual Wild Turkey Hunters Rendezvous and State Wild Turkey Calling contest was a bit hit! The day at Baldwin High School  featured many wildlife vendors, a silent auction, tons of door prizes, a program including speakers from Senator Darwin Booher's office and the DNR, calling and hunting classes, the State Wild Turkey calling contest. Then the event moved over to the Baldwin VFW for a turkey shoot, turkey supper, drawings for more door prizes, and of course the drawing for the statewide raffle to wrap up the day.
Read on to see all the winners and photos from the event!

 In 1983 Gary Truxton, Jay Driling and Tom Sexton from Baldwin and I met at Baldwin and formed the first local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation in Michigan, The Pere Marquette Chapter. Within a year or two we were joined by the Ausable River Valley Chapter and the Traverse Bay (Little Traverse Bay) Chapter. Collectively we were determined that the experiment of restoring Wild Turkeys to Michigan would succeed after being absent since the 1890’s.
At the time Wild Turkeys had been released in the Alegan State Forest and had been released in the Baldwin area. A few turkeys had been trapped and transferred to several counties in the northern lower peninsula.

Although, thankfully, the winter of 2012-2013 held off until just a few weeks ago, we do have a winter in most of northern Michigan, with some areas as of early February buried with up to two feet of snow.
Because of that, although funds are very limited for some chapters, winter supplemental feeding programs have started to help our northern wild turkeys survive the deep snows. Many private property owners are helping us with this effort, as well as feeding on their own, out of their own pockets, for which we are very grateful.
