Michigan Creates #CritterQuiz for Teachers and Students

The Wildlife Division of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has come up with an interactive way to teach students a little fun fact each day about Michigan’s cherished wildlife species and their habitat. The daily #CritterQuiz provides a new Michigan-specific, multiple choice wildlife or habitat question each day at 7 a.m. via Twitter! Teachers are invited to pose the question to their students each morning, and to poll them for the correct answer. Then, don’t forget to reply with your answer to @MDNR_Wildlife and “hashtag” the name of your school (i.e. @MDNR_Wildlife: The answer is opossum.  #NorthwestElementary – Jackson, MI).
Help foster an understanding of Michigan’s unique wildlife heritage among your students, and represent your school with pride by participating in the daily #CritterQuiz

What Barry Sanders Could Teach Hunters

By Glen Wunderlich

Years ago, Detroit Lions fans and fans throughout the NFL, were treated to one of the most creative and celebrated running backs of all time.  His name was Barry Sanders, and although he was widely known for record-breaking performances, it was what he didn’t do and how it relates to hunters. 

Barry Sanders didn’t toss the ball into the crowd, nor did he invent a new dance for the world to critique.  He didn’t spike the ball.  He didn’t jump into the stands after a single touchdown.  Barry Sanders never rubbed his greatness in the faces of those who may not have appreciated it.  He would tap-dance his way into the end zone enroute to yet another 100-yard day and politely hand the ball over to the nearest official.

Barry had no need to boast with antics designed to draw attention.  He was the best.  Period.  His actions proved it.  And, sportsmen would do well to take a page from Barry’s book. Read more
