THE
KEWEENAW ISLAND COALITION
We are a coalition
of sportsmen groups determined to
maintain a reasonable deer
population from the Portage Canal
to the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula
(the Keweenaw Island). Thus
we call ourselves the Keweenaw Island
Coalition. For years we have
raised money to buy deer feed, to
sustain the deer through our harsh
winters. We can have
20 feet to 30 feet of snow
in a winter. Needless to say,
the conditions are difficult for
the deer. We have reached
the limits of our capabilities to
raise funds for deer feed. We
are hopeful that this "Button Sale" will
assure deer feed for the winter.
Club members
living in or near these deer yards
put out the supplemental feed. We
have 24 feeding sites with supplemental
feeding permits issued by the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Last
year the various groups combined
purchased about 60 tons of deer
feed. The
feed is a high protein pellet,
produced to specifications for deer
feeding.
We feed through
out the Keweenaw Island: Calumet
Waterworks Road, Cedar Bay,
Eagle River, Gay, Rabbit Bay, Mud
Lake, Bootjack, White City, Jacobsville,
Princess Point, Dreamland, Frenchtown,
and Sawmill Creek Road
