District 1 is a very distinct and special district it is composed of all out of state hunters. I feel especially proud to be the Governor. Members of District 1 are scattered throughout the world, but have a link to the Great State of Michigan.

Most state bow hunting organizations make no provision to represent out of state hunters. The founders of MBH saw the value and had the wisdom to seek out this valuable resource. MBH appreciates and respects the views of all its members. It also allows you to have a voice through me, to bring your concerns to the MBH Board of Governors.

Bow hunting across the country is under assault as many of you are aware. The biggest challenge we are facing here in Michigan is the introduction of the crossbow.

MBH is NOT opposed to crossbow use for the physically challenged hunter. Never has been, never will be. MBH is opposed to the use of the crossbow into archery season. Currently crossbows may be used by the general population during the November firearms season. MBH feels this is were the crossbow belongs and were it should remain.

I have been a member of MBH for about 15 years and have been actively involved for about 7 years. I appreciate all of my members and the friendships I have developed. If you bow hunt in Michigan I would encourage you to join MBH.

MBH continues to fight and maintain the seasons and those we currently have. I would encourage you to join and give something back to bow hunting and that is your support and voice to help us to maintain the privileges that we currently have.

Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or ideas or questions you may have.
