OCTOBER 2021- MEMBER NEWS
On an acreage where Everett Thomas and his friends held Sunday rodeos, ATV riders
will be allowed to challenge their ability across soap weed roughened prairies, and
through pine dotted canyons. Hunters can test their skills against mule and whitetail
deer, antelope, bison, Merriam turkeys, varmints, upland birds, and fishing
adventures. Elk hunters will be taken to areas in the Hat creek, and Ash creek units
where the elk population has exploded in the past few years, and the trophy animals
are abundant.
While the last rays of a gorgeous sunset slip beneath the prairie grasses a real home
cooked meal will be waiting. In the evenings Ed and Melvin Oldaker, may be willing to
share a few stories and some adult refreshments.
The old Thomas Ranch now owned by Everett's neighbors and friends, Ed Robbin
Oldaker, will provide a once in a lifetime experience that can be duplicated year after
year.

The gold days of Autumn are upon us. For those of us that
enjoy the outdoors and seek the best days to be afield or on
the water, everyday from today through the first of December
is the best day to be alive and outdoors. The birds are flying,
the waterfowl is migrating, the deer season rut is intensifying,
and fish are aggressively feeding, making the time invested
outdoors the best of the season. Some of us lay our head on
the pillow thinking of the upcoming holidays. For me, every
night is the same – dream about pheasants cackling and big
bucks rutting as I toss and turn trying to figure out which stand
to sit or which field to run with my trusted GSP Maggie.
All of us have our honey holes and family traditions. Now is the
time to enjoy them and make memories for future generations.
While we frolic in the fields and dance on the water, be mindful
of the danger that lurks in the shadows – the anti-hunter. Their
quest to shut down our industry is never ending. We must be
mindful of that and share our experiences outdoors in a
positive and engaging way. The propaganda and poison spilled
by anti-hunters can be quickly squelched with sportsman like
behavior, clean kills and photographs, stories of
companionship. Passion, conservation and education will
overcome any vicious misrepresentation from our adversaries.
As the guns of autumn fill our game bags, remember to leave the
forest and fields cleaner than when you arrived. Respect the game
and the chase that you enjoy.
www.sciflint.org
Take a new person, young or old with you and let them share in
the wonder of what nature has to offer. The thrill of the kill is the
least of our desires. It is the ability to match our skills with the
beasts of the wild that makes the hunt more invigorating.
Investing quality time in developing more habitat that harbors
more game makes for a more enjoyable experience.
The future is in our hands, hearts and minds. Share the magic of
the season with friends, family and beginners to keep our
tradition alive and prospering. Take a kid to the field and play it
forward for the next generation. When you succeed, share your
success with all of us with stories photos and advice so we can
enjoy each other’s success. Our viability as a club depends on
all of us to recruit new members and play our trips forward for
generations to come. Bring your adventure to life in our chapter
communication and awards by sharing your experience with us.
Happy Hunting this fall. Best of luck to all!

WOMEN’S PHEASANT HUNT
September 25, 2021
On September 25th the Flint Regional Chapter of SCI partnered with Genesee
County Pheasants Forever to sponsor a Women's Pheasant Hunt for 20 women
at the Muzzy Pheasant Farm in Corunna Michigan. There was a morning and
an afternoon hunt that started with a presentation on SCI and Pheasants
Forever and how our organizations are working to promote and protect hunting
in our county.
Next the women learned firearms and hunting safety and the rules they had to
follow as they went into the field. A training session followed that saw the
women hunters actually firing at flying clay targets that simulated the game
they would be going after. They were then split up into two groups of 5 and
each group was assigned a guide/dog handler and a mentor to help them as
they took to the fields. Morning rain made the conditions for hunting less than
ideal, but the women persevered and were successful. On their return to the
Muzzy’s Lodge, they enjoyed pulled pheasant sandwiches to satisfy the
appetites worked up on the hunt. After eating, a discussion of what they had
learned was held which flowed into a session where the women hunters were
shown how to prepare the pheasants for cooking. They then went to work on
the birds they had harvested; cleaned them and dressed them for transport
home. This was a valuable lesson because it gave these ladies a chance to see
what goes into converting an animal into meat to be cooked. They saw that
there is more to it than just buying white plastic trays with a cellophane
covering.
Everyone left the event well fed, well educated, inspired, empowered and
ready to get back into the field.

“WOMEN’S SOUTH ZONE OPENER DUCK HUNT”
Saturday October 9th, five ladies joined SCI-Flint
for a Women’s Duck Hunt on the season opener.
The ladies were bright eyes and bushy tailed,
meeting at 5:30am to head to their hunting spot
in Clio, MI. We had a variety of experience- Callie
was even a first time shooter who did great!! The
ladies sat in reeds surrounding two small ponds.
As the sun came up, the ducks started to come in
and the ladies got some great shooting in!
Guides Mike Dickerson and Del Tanner did a great
job coaching the ladies on hunting safety, duck
hunting 101, and much more.
The ladies harvested a number of
beautiful drake wood ducks. After
cleaning up from the hunt, the ladies
were treated to a delicious brunch,
which included homemade biscuits
and goose gravy! We concluded the
event with a lesson on how to clean
the birds and everyone was sent home
with recipe cards to guide them in
cooking the meat we harvested.
We look forward to getting into the
field with these ladies again and wish
them luck as they continue duck
hunting this fall!

PTARMIGAN PSALM
By: John Kupiec
The Alaskan peninsula is filled with beautiful sights and sounds like big Brown
Bear, Wolf, Red Fox, Alaska Yukon Moose, Porcupine, Migratory Birds and
ultimately, the Alaska Barren Ground Caribou. These creatures are the largest of
the five caribou in North America. On a recent trip to hunt Caribou at Nelson
Lagoon with Rod Schuh from R & R Outfitters, I was able to witness the great north
filled with many of God’s creatures up close and personal every day. All provided
pure entertainment and moments of awe. The most prolific was the Ptarmigan,
indigenous to the tundra and cold of Alaska. These birds have a repertoire of
sounds that are unique and unmistakable. The clucking, cooing, and barking at
times sounds like laughing. These birds were in mid foliage change and were
everywhere we camped and stalked the big horns of the Southern Alaska
Peninsula herd of caribou. It was almost as if they were surrounding us to assist in
finding that trophy of a lifetime, providing free guide service.
Wesley Snipes was my guide on this trip--not the one of acting fame, but talented
none the less. We flew via float plane from the main camp at Hoodoo Lodge out
on to the tundra and set up a spike camp along a small lake about ten miles from
Nelson Lagoon. The first three days were eventful, spotting lots of game.
Approximately 50 Caribou per day were spotted with several shot opportunities at
nice bulls, but not the one I was in search of. We had a close encounter with a
nine-foot brown bear eating crowberries, several porcupines and two fox that
seemed to find our hideout on different knobs each day. They showed no worries
and entertained Wes and I as we glassed from a distance to see if we could find a
“boo” worthy of a chase. We did not and Rod came out and relocated us about six
miles closer to the ocean in even more classic tundra ground minus the heavy
alder patches and willow flats.
On day four we witnessed Pavlov, the famous volcano emitting ash from the upper
caldera (rim) which was a bonus! We mapped out a plan and hiked north about
two miles to gain the highest vantage point to search for our elusive trophy. After
sitting for about two hours from daybreak to 9:30, Wes and I decided to circle a

boomerang shaped lake and head to another high point to glass. We hiked about a
mile and half and upon reaching the summit of the hill Wes stopped and crouched
down crawling to the top to glass below. He spotted four bulls in a group around a
smaller watering hole eating lichen. The bulls were completely unaware of our
presence. The initial distance we ranged the caribou at was 698 yards.
The bulls continued to feed, with our vantage point safe due the wind direction
quartering to us at approximately 30 knots (34-35 mph). As they continued to eat
and meandered our way, I ranged them at between 297 and 305 yards. The target
bull was on the right of me furthest away. I told Wes I was comfortable taking a
shot at that distance, so I climbed behind the Swarovski DS scope and dialed it up
to about 8 power. The range on the scope confirmed my bino distance at 298
yards. I settled the crosshairs behind the front shoulder and squeezed off a round.
The shot was true and connected exactly where I aimed. The big bull hunched up
and turned around stumbling. I sent another round toward him and put him on
the ground.
We were both ecstatic at the sight of him dropping. We quickly gathered our
backpacks and headed toward the big bull. As we walked up on him, we both
looked at each other in amazement as he was much larger than we thought. He
has mass, big bez, long points on top and best of all, double shovels! The beautiful
mahogany-colored antlers were offset by the white winter cape and makes for one
impressive trophy. Fresh back straps for dinner were on the menu after the work
of cleaning, quartering and hauling the bull several miles back to camp.
The success of this trip more than made up for the first two attempts where I ate
tag soup twice. This hunt was scheduled for six days, and we connected on day
four. The food was outstanding, gear was first class, and my guide definitely knew
this species. If high quality Barren Ground Caribou is on your bucket list, I would
highly recommend Rod and his crew.

MICHIGAN CRANE POPULATION
Crane populations are at their
highest point since we started
surveys. We kill about 1,000
per year for crop damage and
they are left in the field to rot.
Other states that do have a
season, kill only around 500
per year. In short, there is no
scientific reason not to have a
limited crane season in
Michigan.
Please visit the below link for the full story.
https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/Crane_Oct2021_738259_7.pdf
A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no
gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they
are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers. It is
difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact.
