🦌EMERSON ARCHERY DOE DAYS — DECEMBER 12 & 13🦌
This December, we’re bringing hunters together for something bigger than just filling a tag.
The mission of Emerson Archery Doe Days is simple: help manage our local deer herd while putting quality venison into the hands of families and organizations in our community that can use it.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
🏹 You hunt your own property or property you already have permission to hunt.
🦌 If you’re successful, your deer must be legally harvested and properly tagged according to Michigan law.
đź“Ť Bring your harvested deer to Emerson Archery during the event.
🤝 The DNR will be on site collecting donated deer and coordinating getting them to processors.
🥩 The processed venison will then be distributed to local food banks, churches, and other organizations helping people in need.
IMPORTANT: We are NOT providing hunting property, hunting access, weapons, bows, or other hunting equipment. You hunt on your own, then bring your legally harvested deer to the event if you choose to donate it.
And you DO NOT have to harvest or donate a deer to attend!
If you hunt all weekend and never fill a tag—or just want to come be part of the event—you’re still invited to come hang out, participate in the other activities, check out the prizes, and enjoy the weekend with us.
🍽️ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12 — BANQUET DINNER
We’ll also be hosting a banquet dinner Saturday night. Dinner tickets will be first come, first served, and we’ll be releasing ticket information and additional details soon.
There is NO dinner ticket required to donate a deer or come participate in the rest of Doe Days.
We have a lot more planned for this weekend, and we’ll continue releasing details as we get closer.
Save the dates: December 12 & 13.
Hunt your ground. Fill your tag if you can. Donate your harvest if you choose. And come spend the weekend with us while we use hunting to give back to our community.
