Time to Register for Youth Pheasant Hunt

lschultz • February 14, 2019

Last year I was invited to join the Southern Michigan Hunting Retriever Club as they hosted their second annual youth pheasant hunt, as a hunter safety instructor. This year once again the club is hosting this event and with some help from some great sponsors including Whitetails Unlimited and Michigan United Conservation Clubs. The Club is proud to present this free event to our next generation of hunter-conservationists and hunting retriever enthusiasts.

This event is limited to the first 24 registered participants ages 12-17. All youth hunters must have completed the Michigan Hunter Safety Education course and be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperone.

Club members and other mentors will be on hand to assist the young hunters and their guardians. The hunt will take place at Bear Creek Hunt Club located at 12670 Beecher Hwy, Clayton, MI.

There were two groups of participants. While one group is hunting the other group will be learning about dog handling and duck calling. Each group will have some practice time shooting clay targets before heading out on their bird hunt.

Spring Volunteer Opportunities with On the Ground

By Katelyn Helsel • April 2, 2025

Are you interested in making a difference for local wildlife this spring? Check out our upcoming On the Ground events! We have many projects with a wide range of volunteer opportunities available throughout April and into May. Even though winter is still holding on for some parts of northern Michigan, now is still a great time to get outside and improve wildlife habitat. All necessary equipment is provided for each project, and all registered volunteers receive lunch and a free appreciation gift. We welcome all ages, so bring a friend or two if you’d like! Families are also welcome, and our events provide a great opportunity for kids to get their hands dirty and learn about the outdoors. More detailed information about each of our upcoming projects is listed below. We hope to see you at a future event!
