Book excerpt: The Pte. Mouillee Shooting Club was in an excellent flyway and was located in the western basin of Lake Erie at the mouth of the Huron River near the mouth of the Detroit River. Pte. Mouillee was one of the greatest marshes in the state of Michigan with some of the best duck shooting in the country. It was an extraordinary club, having only ten members at a time. The members were very wealthy and many traveled long distances from several states to hunt at the Club. The Club existed in the golden age of waterfowling when there were few restrictions. They hunted in the spring and in the fall, there were no bag limits, they used live decoy ducks and fed ducks grain. A punt gun was used in the Pte. Mouillee area until they were outlawed. Many of the early members of the Club were live pigeon shooters and met at pigeon matches around the country. Ed Gillman founder of the Club was a state and world champion live pigeon shooter. Nate Quillin was Michigan's most famous early duck decoy makers and duck boat builder. Nate's decoys are famous all over the country and are prized by collectors. Nate made many decoys and boats for the members of the Club. The Club used the best decoys money could buy, Peterson, Dodge, Mason and Nate Quillin's decoys. The book also covers the early days of the State game area and the Michigan Duck Hunter's Tournament. The Club existed from 1875 to 1945 when the State of Michigan bought the marsh for a state game area. Now after over thirty years of research, we are ready to tell the story of what we think is a fascinating Club of a by-gone era. Much of out research was done as we traveled to several states while on vacation. The more we learned about the Club, The more intrigued we became.

Download or read book Great Lakes Champions written by John H. Hartig and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2022-10-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lakes—containing one-fifth of the standing freshwater on earth, covering some 94,250 square miles with a combined 10,210 miles of shoreline—have suffered greatly from human use and abuse since the advent of the commercial fur trade in the late 1600s. Logging destroys or degrades habitats, urbanization and industrialization pour human and industrial wastes into the water, fertilizers flowing off farm fields feed algae that suffocate other creatures, and ships bring in exotic species that decimate the lakes’ biodiversity. In 1985 when the International Joint Commission identified more than forty pollution hotspots around the lakes, few people had faith the Areas of Concern would be cleaned up in their lifetime. Indeed, aquatic ecosystem restoration is extremely difficult: only nine of these hotspots have been removed from the infamous list. But progress is being made, and at the helm are local champions, people with a profound love of the region who lead by example and build broad, diverse coalitions in order to realize a common vision. The stories of fourteen of these champions are told here to inspire necessary action to care for the place they call home, so it may be a home to many living creatures for ages yet to come.
Download or read book Making Waves written by Scott M Peters and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michigan will always be known as the automobile capital of the world, but the Great Lakes State boasts a similarly rich heritage in the development of boat building in America. By the late nineteenth century, Michigan had emerged as the industry’s hub, drawing together the most talented designers, builders, and engine makers to produce some of the fastest and most innovative boats ever created. Within decades, gifted Michigan entrepreneurs like Christopher Columbus Smith, John L. Hacker, and Gar Wood had established some of the nation’s top boat brands and brought the prospect of boat ownership within reach for American consumers from all ranges of income. More than just revolutionizing recreational boating, Michigan boat builders also left their mark on history—from developing the speedy runabouts favored by illicit rum-runners during the Prohibition era to creating the landing craft that carried Allied forces to shores in Europe and the Pacific in WWII. In Making Waves, Scott M. Peters explores this intriguing story of people, processes, and products—of an industry that evolved in Michigan but would change boating across the world.
Download or read book The Heart of the Lakes written by Dave Dempsey and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The water corridor that defines southeast Michigan sits at the heart of the world’s largest freshwater ecosystem, the Great Lakes. Over forty-three trillion gallons of water a year flow through the Detroit River, providing a natural conduit for everything from fish migration to the movement of cargo-bearing one thousand–foot freighters, and a defining sense of place. But in both government policies and individual practices, the freshwater at the heart of the lakes was long neglected and sometimes abused. Today southeast Michigan enjoys an opportunity to learn from that history and put freshwater at the center of a prosperous and sustainable future. Joining this journey downriver in place and time, from Port Huron to Monroe, from the 1600s to the present, provides insight and hope for the region’s water-based renaissance.
