Youth Pheasant Hunt - October 2015
On October 24, 2015 a Youth Pheasant Hunt was held as a combined effort of MPRI (Co-op), Saginaw Conservation District and with a generous $500.00 donation by Saginaw Pheasants Forever Chapter (with several other sponsors that were listed on the back of the special orange hoodies each youth received). Door Prizes were given out, there was hot cider, kids got to keep their birds and we all signed a commemorative photo board and kids wrote thank-you’s. Everybody loved it so much that we all agreed to put it on next year!! Check out pictures from the event and what Michigan United Conservation Club had to say!
