Community Spirit Shines at Our Annual Buck Pole Event

November 15th, 2024, Robin Hills Farm hosted our highly anticipated Buck Pole Event, bringing together the community for a day of camaraderie, tradition, and celebration. Against the backdrop of our scenic 129-acre property, the event proved to be a delightful highlight of the season, showcasing the unique charm of Robin Hills Farm and the spirit of outdoor enthusiasts.

A Celebration of Hunting Traditions

The Buck Pole Event has long been a time-honored tradition in Michigan, and Robin Hills Farm proudly continues to honor this legacy. Hunters from near and far gathered to display their harvest, exchange stories, and participate in friendly competitions. The event provided a welcoming space to celebrate the skills, patience, and respect for nature that are central to the hunting community.

Community Highlights

Sponsors and Prizes: This year, we were thrilled to have the support of local businesses whose sponsorships helped make the event a success. Generous prizes were awarded, including 1st through 4th place for adults and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for youth, adding excitement and recognition to the day’s achievements; and a total of $10,000 in prizes.

Family-Friendly Fun: Beyond the hunting showcase, the event featured activities for all ages. Families enjoyed a variety of food, warm beverages, and engaging games, creating an inclusive experience for everyone, not just the hunters.

Educational Presentation: Understanding Local Wildlife

A standout feature of this year’s event was an educational presentation on local wildlife and conservation practices. Led by a DNR Field Operations Manager, Terrence McFadden, attendees learned about the importance of conservation, hunting and the diverse ecosystems that thrive in our region. The presentation offered valuable insights for both seasoned hunters and newcomers, reinforcing the connection between conservation efforts and the hunting tradition.
