The 2014 North Central Chapter of the MWTHA banquet will be held earlier this year on March 1, 2014, and will have a new feel. There will be a live auction, kid’s game, women’s table, and two gun games. This year we will be giving away a total of 32 guns, there will not be a blue table or a red table. Instead those tables will be full of guns.
Dinner tickets will be the same as last year $50 per couple, $30 per single and $20 per child (children 14 and under). With purchase of a child’s ticket, they are entered for the kid’s game for free this year.

At the March 30 Wild Turkey Hunters Rendezvous retired U.S. Forest Service wildlife biologist Chris Schumaker was awarded a Citation For Professional Excellence along with a retirement gift.
Chris worked for a number of years on the Manistee National Forest. During his time on the forest many habitat projects were planned and completed. One of his ideas and projects was to create water holes on portions of the forest that had none. We had the opportunity to visit several and found the tracks of many wildlife species that were using them.

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!
