Saturday, March 7, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Rooster Ranch in Ubly (Huron County)

Huron County is at the northern tip of the Thumb, which is a sub region of Mid Michigan. It is a peninsula, bordered by Saginaw Bay to the west and Lake Huron to the north and east, and has over 90 miles (140 km) of shoreline, from White Rock on Lake Huron to Sebewaing on the Saginaw Bay.

This workshop for beginners will teach you proper, safe shooting and pheasant hunting techniques. Youth and accompanying adults who want to learn to hunt are welcome. No previous experience is required.

First, we’ll cover hunting tools and techniques, hunting ethics and safety. Next, we’ll head to the trap range to practice shooting, then out to the fields to hunt for pheasants. Dogs, their handlers and mentors will be on hand throughout the day.

After hunting, everyone will meet for lunch and a bird-cleaning demonstration before the workshop wraps up.

Cost is $35 for each adult (if hunting) and $10 per child. Ammunition, orange vests and lunch will be provided. Children must have an adult attend with them for supervision, but adults should register if they also want to hunt.

For more information or if you need a loaner gun, please contact Jen Davis at 734-680-6049 or jdavis@nwtf.net.

FPC Argures Congress Can’t Enact Sweeping Gun Prohibitions

Leave a comment

Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in United States v. Hemani, which challenges the federal ban on gun possession by marijuana users. FPC’s brief argues that the court does not need to decide the Second Amendment issue in this case because Congress lacks the Article I authority to enact the ban in the first place.

FPC is represented by Bradley Benbrook and Stephen Duvernay of Benbrook Law Group, PC.

The amicus brief was filed at Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., and the Court’s decision in this case will apply throughout the country.

FPC’s amicus brief was filed on January 30, 2026. Oral arguments in this case will take place at the Supreme Court on March 2nd, and the decision should be issued by the end of the court’s term in June.

A decision in Ali Danial Hemani’s favor could enable millions of peaceable people to exercise their Second Amendment rights. The full extent of the ruling will depend on the Supreme Court’s reasoning. Read more
