It’s with great disappointment that I write to all of you to tell you we’ve decided to cancel this year’s trip.

If you signed up and sent a check it will either be destroyed or voided and returned by mail to you. Let Joe or Bonnie know which you prefer. The default is to have the check destroyed.

Member News & Tips

Rear entry boots are back. They're getting debated over on Facebook. Thanks for the tip Cheryl Morris.

Bald Eagles are back!

America's iconic national bird, the bald eagle, has made an impressive comeback from its days as an endangered species. But its leading threats remain rooted in human activity, the most comprehensive study ever of bald eagle mortality in Michigan finds.

The study, published in April in The Journal of Wildlife Management, recommends moving road-killed animal carcasses to the far edge of rights of way, and a further transition from lead ammunition and fishing tackle to nontoxic alternatives.

Anyone encountering a dead or injured bald eagle is asked to call the Michigan DNR's Wildlife Division at 517-284-9453 or by email at
