Final Pere Marquette Chapter Update
After 35 years of existence, the Pere Marquette Chapter will no longer exist. Quite simply no one has stepped forward to maintain our chapter. I wish a very sincere Thank You to those of you who stepped forward to make the operation of our chapter possible.
A very sincere thank you
The Secretary/Treasurer of the state chapter is the glue that holds our organization together. It is not an easy task to keep track of membership and dues, paying necessary bills such as printing Turkey Tracks twice a year. There are reports that must be sent to both...2024 Turkey Hunting Patch Available
Wellll, my lovely wife says she maaaayyy be ready for archery season 🙄. Good luck to all going out Tuesday and stay safe. FYI , her place to hunt is along our apple orchard. You should practice where you hunt if you can so there’s no surprises, so plant fruit trees! We picked a lot of apples this year and they’re still falling, lol.
One of the best things in the fall is an early morning walk in the cool brisk air (now that it’s here). Saw three smaller bucks (bachelor group) along a corn field, then a flock of turkeys (two hens and about twelve poults) along the side of the road. The spiders, with the help of the morning dew, were not to be out done and we had a gossamer web art show going all over on in the weed filled fields. Get out there, take the kids, it’s that terrific time of year.
We were posting No Hunting signs and noticed this little White Pine growing out of the crotch of an Oak. Epitome of perserverance I’d say. Nature will find a way.
My grandsons, Hudson and Brody, doubled yesterday in Clare Co. with two great Toms. Hudson’s bird (first picture), was his first ever (check out that ear-to-ear grin) and had an 8” beard with 3/4” spurs. Brody’s bird had a double beard, 6” and 4”, with 1” spurs. Of course I’m really proud of these two great kids.
Denny took a nice bird yesterday in Clare Co. 4” beard and 16 lbs. Good job Denny.
