Hunting with Mike

The Michigan Deer and Turkey Spectacular is fast approaching (Feb. 8, 9, 10 th.)  Again it will be held at the Lansing Center at 333 East Michigan Ave.  The above picture is from several years ago when I was fortunate enough to bring home the “gold!”  The two bucks I entered won “top” honors for deer harvested prior to the current year in the archery category.  The one on the right was a narrow (almost perfect) 10 pointer that scored 133 P&Y, and the other was a 8 pointer that scored 129 P&Y points.  I also entered my biggest black bear that took top honors with a skull size of 19 -6/16 P&Y inches.  We had a great time while we were there, and I highly recommend attending at least once in your lifetime.

This years schedule includes a “locked antler” display from Michigan bucks, trail camera photo contest, food plot seminars, new products display area, 250 exhibit booths, cooking demo., Byron Ferguson archery trick shot, and shooting ranges for kids, just to name a few!   On top of that there will be a North American wildlife scene, with “live” cougar, wolf, black bear, grizzly bear, bobcat, and coyote.  Each year this event truly does get more “spectacular!”

Also one of the main attractions is the display, and recognition, of Michigan’s best deer, bear, elk, and turkey’s.  Commemorative Bucks of Michigan will again be on hand to officially measure your trophy, and get it entered into their record books.  You will get to see hundreds of Michigan’s best wild game animals on display, both past and present!  If you have a big rack laying around the house, from the past, you might want to enter it into the “past years” category.  I’ve got one here from the late 50’s that I’m going to enter one of these years.  This is a great way to break up the winter blahs.  You will truly enjoy yourself, and you might even “book” that “hunt of a lifetime” while your there!
