Plant Trees with OTG in Minden City this Weekend

lschultz • April 20, 2021

Join MUCC’s On The Ground program and the Robert J. Lytle Chapter of the Ruffed Grouse Society on Saturday, April 24, as we plant trees to improve wildlife habitat at the Minden City State Game Area. Volunteers are needed to help plant and tube approximately 200 oak trees. These hard mast-producing trees will benefit a variety of wildlife including ruffed grouse, wild turkey and white-tailed deer.

Volunteers will meet at the parking lot at Cumber Rd and Verona Rd, just east of M-19 (Google Maps coordinates: 43°37’24.6″N 82°52’38.2″W). The event will begin at 9 AM and run until all the trees are planted.

To receive a free lunch and OTG t-shirt, you must register for this event. Registration closes Thursday, April 22 at 1 p.m.

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.
