NettieBay Lodge
annouces NettieBay Lodge has developed a program offering hunters and youth the opportunity to gain valuable skills in an environment that encourages fun and success in the outdoors. This exciting new program, Michigan Predator Hunt Team Competition, is directed at hunters who want to learn outdoor skills in hunting Michigans coyote, bobcat and fox. The statewide events are currently being planned and organized by Mark Schuler at NettieBay Lodge Hawks, Michigan. The event begins with a Thursday, 6:00 p.m. MANDATORY Hunter's Meeting on predator hunting and the event ends Saturday at 7:00 p.m. with a prime rib banquet, trophies, an exciting raffle, and door prizes. The Black Mountain Chapter of the NWTF will be raffling off a varmint rifle. Trophies are awarded on a point system with special emphases toward youth. The Michigan Predator hunt is an event designed solely for hunter enjoyment and youth participation. Entry fee $60.00 per person (includes Banquet). Prizes are awarded to the first, second, and third place teams. With the competition starting on Thursday evening, I hope this doesnt discourage anyone. A Thursday beginning should provide at least one quiet night in the woods, without snowmobile activity. And, ending the competition at 7:00 p.m. Saturday allows 48 hours of good competition (2 night hunts, 2 morning hunts, 2 all day hunts) everything is fair. ALL DECISIONS BY THE JUDGE ARE FINALThe Banquet begins at 7:30 p.m. Prizes, plaques and the traveling trophy will be awarded at that time. Participating organizations will have raffles taking place during the banquet. (All raffle proceeds go back to the participating organizations.) After the banquet you can choose to kick back, relax, or hunt all night if you wish. This allows downstate hunters to beat the traffic on Sunday. Thank you for your participation. A complete list of rules will be sent to you upon registration. We look forward to hunting with you. "We are especially pleased to announce that Jays Sporting Goods Marble Knives have committed to be sponsors of this new and exciting event" |
