Now if that title doesn't get your blood flowing. Thanks Avery for the forums and helping to sponser these great events! I apologize for not being on much anymore, life is changing faster than I want (including the now 2+ year old Lab who is starring at me wanting his "dummy and water" time :)

Grab your calls and call your hunting buddies we’re throwing a Hunting Party Ducks Unlimited Style! The Greater Lansing Ducks Unlimited is proud to be your hosts for the afternoon. Put the mower away and come hang with us for the afternoon. We’re going to surround you with other local water fowling enthusiasts, lots of great prizes including over 60 dozen decoys, and it wouldn’t be a DU event without some firearms! Come early and see if you can’t beat Jake the Drake in a hand of poker. Wear your camo to the event and get into an extra drawing! We'll have steaks on the grill (12-16 NY Strips w/all the fixings) and hoping to have a few coolers iced down with a nice selection of Michigan Brewing Company Beverages.

Tickets are $25.00 each. Pre-register with your hunting buddy and save 5 bucks each! Be one of the first 25 people to pre-purchase a $100.00 duck buck bundle (good for games, auctions, and raffle tickets) and we’ll have a dozen green head gear mallards ready for you….maybe split them with your buddy??? We will have $50 and $100 raffle packages at the door. Space will be limited so please reserve your seat soon!

When: Sunday July 27th from 1-4 pm

Where: Chief Okemos Sportsmans Club 4667 N Gunnell Rd. Dimondale, MI 48821 www.chiefokemos.org/

That would make my night! I've got 6 or 7 it will be posted on tonight if my DSL holds up. Still trying to get it on the states website (DU), but Amy's been busy.

Really hoping this takes off. These are totally different than the standard DU dinner banquet, and depending on the numbers (still hoping for 100 people..but reality will be closer to 70)...thats almost a dozen decoys per person leaving the event. Plus where can you get a NY strip and a few beverages for 20 bucks!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on the decoys we've got ordered in case your interested in attending! By my math this list represents almost 58 dozen decoys (almost 80 boxes!)! Dont think they're all mallards either, check out this list...tons of divers! We may end up with over 70 dozen decoys at the event as I know a few people donating additional decoys to help make this the best WHP in the state! Pretty hard to beat a steak dinner and beverages galore for 20 bucks...pick up a few raffle tickets and this could be the best banquet you've ever attended! If you noticed...I left out the Finishers, Power Hunters, and Ground Force Blinds..we'll have those too!

It’s with great sadness that I must announce that the Greater Lansing Ducks Unlimited Waterfowlers Hunting Party that was to be held this Sunday at the Chief Okemos Sportsman’s Club has been canceled.

I can't thank everyone enough for your support and interest in this, but with low pre-registration numbers national canceled our merchandise order. Without any decoys, its kind of hard to hold an event. May this be a heads up to any committee members or to those that are thinking about attending an event, please, please, please send in your registration information. These committees put in hours upon hours of time working up to the events (and after) to hold these events, and news like this is devastating. Please pass this information along to anyone you may know that was thinking about attending. I’m disheartened this has been canceled, but I hate the thought that someone many not get the notice and spends their hard earned money and time to show up at an event that will not be held.

If you pre-registered and I have your direct contact info, I will be calling your shortly to arrange a return of your event payment.

If anyone has any direction questions please feel free to contact me directly.
