Join MUCC’s On the Ground program and the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) as we improve wildlife habitat in the northern Lower Peninsula on Saturday, October 2, 2021 – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers are needed to help plant and fence 100 mature mast-producing trees on public land near Frederic. These trees will provide foraging material and additional cover for wildlife like wild turkey, white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, and songbirds. All registered volunteers will receive a free lunch and volunteer appreciation gift from MUCC.

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.
