Big Buck Night 2025
On April 12th, 2025 our Mid-Michigan chapter hosted the annual Awards and Big Buck night at Bucks Run. The program included a social hour, dinner, and many stories about hunting adventures taken. This event allowed deer hunters to get their animals measured by official SCI scorers as well as earn different awards. It also allowed members who submitted score sheets from animals taken over the previous two years to earn awards and discuss their different hunts.
The following pictures were taken from the evening’s festivities. In the future we hope to see you at one or all of our membership events. For the Awards and Big Buck night all are welcome, you don’t need to submit an animal to attend.
