Jan. 10, 2010 - Forty members of PF chapter 467 enjoyed a European style pheasant hunt at Dunn Creek Outfitters in Laingsburg. On Friday October 12th, PF 467 held a chapter hunt at Dunn Creek. A great time, a little money was raised for the chapter's habitat program with a mystery bird contest. Some of the contest winners generously turned their winnings back to the Chapter. Thanks go out to John Crabbe, John Wardlaw and Bill Brake for their generosity.
Jan. 10, 2010 - Our very own Paul Morrow was nominated as one of the Heroes of Conservation. He is known by many as "Doc" and considered the backbone of habitat in Ingham County. He has volunteered with Ducks Unlimited, The Ruffed Grouse Society, and PF. Now, anybody that knows Paul will realize that actually getting him to New York is a challenge in itself; because Paul in New York is like an elevator in an outhouse, it just doesn't belong. Paul feels most comfortable in the outdoors improving habitat or hunting with his dog Kody, not in New York dodging Taxi's.

Jan. 10, 2010 - WILLIAMSTON -- This wasn't what pheasant hunters are used to seeing in Michigan these days. Bill Brake, John Anderson and Brake's German shorthair, Remington, had flushed two hen pheasants within five minutes of walking into a field sparsely planted with native prairie grasses.
