The 16th annual Dowagiac Conservation Clubs Hunters Rendezvous is slated for Jan. 26.
Visitors to the club will get to eyeball huge deer, elk and other game that have been harvested by area hunters. You can also take your recently harvested bucks in for scoring by representatives of the Commemorative Bucks of Michigan and an antique gun appraiser will be available to offer free appraisals.
The free event has become popular for adults and youngsters, the latter of whom can learn from experienced hunters in a casual atmosphere. The club is located on M-51, north of Dowagiac.
