2025 Local Auction Items

Decanter Drawing
West Michigan Bowhunters

Used to be the hat drawing, but we all own far too many hats! The highest Bidder wins a special issue West MI Bowhunters Decanter (750 ml BenShot Broadhead Glass). There will only be (6) of these Decanters issued. One lucky Decanter owner will be the winner of a Henry 45/70 Golden Boy “Freedom Rifle” SCI commemorative edition. These rifles are in short supply, and currently, orders are at least a one-year wait. Inspired from the Old West with a brass frame, this rifle is as beautiful as it is functional. This straight-walled cartridge is a real performer. Combined with the legendary Henry rifle it makes this a very special firearm. One to be used as well as admired. This is a one-in-six chance of winning. You could WIN!
