MUCC Commissions Five Firearms to Celebrate 85th Anniversary

lschultz • June 13, 2022

In honor of MUCC’s 85th anniversary, we have commissioned a series of firearms. We will be raffling each firearm separately throughout the year. In partnership with Centershot Gun Range, we have custom-designed five Henry Big Boy .44 Mag rifles. They are customized to commemorate the 85 years MUCC has been protecting hunting, fishing and trapping in Michigan.

These five guns will be raffled to raise funds to continue our work in Lansing to protect hunting fishing and trapping, to continue to educate youth and implement habitat improvement projects throughout the state.

There will be multiple chances to get into the raffles. Each gun is marked 1 of 5 and will be raffled at different times throughout the year. The first chance to win will be held at MUCC’s annual convention. Tickets will be sold on Friday and Saturday during our convention weekend. Tickets will be $20 each.

If you are unable to make it to the convention, there will be a chance to purchase tickets for the remaining four guns at other MUCC events throughout the year including the Detroit Fishing show, Outdoorama and the Ultimate Sportshow Grand Rapids.

We would like to thank Centershot Gun Range for creating these beautiful firearms and are looking forward to using the money raised to continue to protect hunting, fishing and trapping for future generations in Michigan.

Uncommon Whitetails: Antlered Does

By Olivia Triltsch • November 20, 2025

If you have ever seen a deer with velveted antlers at strange times of the year, it may have been a rare sighting of an antlered doe. Unusual circumstances like this allow for the antlered and antlerless deer tags to still apply as imposed by the Michigan DNR deer regulations, as it can be difficult to identify a doe from a buck while in the field, aside from the presence of antlers. Often, hunters who tag an antlered doe do not find out it is a female until they go to field dress their kill.
