   Ice Safety

   It's a topic worth reiterating every ice fishing season - ice safety! Unfortunately every year, someone goes through the ice on an inland lake or great lakes bay. Stacy & Sammi from Delta County Search & Rescue gave a great presentation on ice safety at a recent women's ice fishing clinic held at Blade's Bait & Tackle. They go over gear you should take on the ice, how to check the ice, and what to do if you or someone else falls in. It worth a listen to help save your life, or the life of someone else!

   Belgiumtown Big Buck Night

   I chat with Dan and Lindsay, organizers of Belgiumtown Big Buck Night, about how the event has grown in the last 8 years from a handful of people to a crowd of over 1000 in 2023. We talk about the volunteers and sponsors that make the event a success, what's new for this year, making this a family-friendly event, the importance of community nights like this to the hunting culture of the U.P., the big bucks of Menominee County, Dan's prediction for this year, and how they were disappointed "Discovering" didn't show up there last year. But I'll make up for it this year! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
