After traveling to Africa twice and experiencing so many amazing things, my husband Ray really wanted his family to experience the beauty of Africa with him.

You have to get up early to hunt turkeys.  I left my house in Macomb at 3:45 am to get to Froling Farms in Ionia, MI. Roger Froling, my host, guided me to the blind and I was set up by 6:15. Once Roger’s truck left the field, the turkeys began to gobble in the trees behind my blind. This was good news to me because I hunted at Froling Farms two weeks prior and for two days the wind was exceptionally strong and I heard no gobbles and saw only one hen, so gobbling toms was a welcome sound.

At the 2023 Mid-Michigan SCI Convention Charlotte and I made a plan to visit our great friend Fernando Nomdedeu of “Ibex Zone” for Beceite Ibex in Spain.

Our Broomstick Bingo that took place Friday, August 1st was well attended and everyone had a great time!

Hunting is an important component of wildlife management, provides funding for conservation, and has deep cultural roots in the United States. Social acceptance of hunting is key in ensuring that associated conservation efforts can continue. Implementing the North American Model of Conservation relies in part on the purchase of hunting license fees and excise taxes on hunting and shooting sports equipment through federal acts.

 In May of 2024 I had the opportunity to fly across the big salty pond to South Africa where I did some night hunting with Johan Pietrese. This was my 3rd time on the African continent (2nd time in South Africa). I've only done day hunts.  This was my first night hunt and I had no idea what to expect. My quest was a serval.

As we travel back to Michigan after wrapping up 2024 Indoor Archery Nationals in Owensboro, KY, I can’t help but be immensely grateful for SCI’s sponsorship for this great group of youth archers.

Our trip left from Sitka, Alaska. Bert Stromquist picked us up at the airport and took us to his store, the Orion, to purchase our fishing licenses. We also shopped in the local grocery store and liquor store by his store for additional items we thought we might enjoy.

Big Buck Night 2025

This past summer me, dad and brother Zane planted food plots so we could give the deer a variety of food to eat come fall.  We practiced over the summer with the crossbow as I did last year but this time, I could go and hunt during the archery season and not just the youth season.

The 46th Annual Mid-Michigan Hunters Fundraiser Gala was an overwhelming SUCCESS!! We had an excellent overall event with a great turnout of attendees, and we’ve welcomed both old and new Outfitters and Vendors to exhibit at our show.  My Thanks and Gratitude goes out to everyone who came and participated, we couldn't have done such a great show without you!  We are on track to raise a hefty amount of money to support our Chapter initiatives and support SCI International's goals of conservation, outdoor sportsman, and hunting rights.
