Having hunter withdrawals? The Dowagiac Conservation Club’s annual Hunter’s Rendezvous slated for Jan. 28 may help cure that.

The Rendezvous is mini outdoor show of sorts, to include activities for adults and youngsters, a silent auction fund-raiser, exhibits by conservation groups, and more.

Hunters can get their bucks officially scored by several trophy organizations and an antique gun appraiser will be available. Visitors also can experience the club’s virtual reality hunting equipment.

The program raises money for the club’s Youth Education Fund that supplies area schools with conservation educational tools, sponsors kids to the Michigan United Conservation Club’s summer camp and youth hunts.

Admission is free and it runs from noon to 6. Deer camp chili and hot dogs are available.

Also, on Sunday, the club will host its annual squirrel hunt beginning at 7 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be available.

Two-man teams pay $20 with a weigh-in at 4 p.m. Payback will be in cash and prizes. For more information about the Rendezvous or to register for the hunt, call Rich Atkinson, 269-424-5186.
