TheRambler extra point attemptwas no good.Boyne City would go on topfor good later in the quarteras Redman once again foundan open receiver in the formof Maceo Vroman for a 23-yard touchdown, the two-point conversion attemptfailed, giving Boyne a 12-6lead with 1:32 left in the firsthalf.The Rayders came out of the half an attempted an on-side kick that the Ramblersrecovered, giving Boyne Citypossession near mid-field.The Ramblers would turn theball over on the next play witha fumble. Charlevoix woulddrive to the Boyne City 6-yardline before a fumble of theirown.Redman would throw twomore touchdown during thethird quarter, finding Vromanagain for a 10-yard strike, andBradley Fouchia on a 16-yardtoss on fourth down and six tocomplete the scoring with 41.5seconds left in the quarterand a 25-6 BC lead.“We had an injury to our of-fensive tackle early in thethird quarter and failed to puttogether another scoringdrive,” Charlevoix assistantcoach Nick Barmun said.“Again, we made it hard onourselves by making penal-ties, lining up in the wrongspots, etc. Against a team likeBoyne, those mistakes hitextra hard. You can't makethose types of mistakes andmiscues against a undefeatedteam and expect to come awaywith a win.”Also for the Ramblers,Malik Smith carried 16 timesfor 89 yards, Conner Mills fiverushes for 25 yards, Kellycaught three passes for 94yards and a score and added11 yards rushing on two car-ries, Vroman hauled in threereceptions for 41 yards and apair of TD's and Fouchiaadded one catch for 16-yardsand a score and also carriedeight times for 47 yards.Defensively for Boyne, AlanManross had 13 tackles, Mills10, including three sacks, Vro-man and Fouchia eightapiece, with Fouchia addingan interception, Redmaneight and Brady Calo and El-liot Hausler added seven stopseach.“We were able to sustaintheir (Charlevoix) energy andsettle down in the second

The onlything that didn’t get the mes-sage were the fish. As theseason ending Classic eventis held, the format is differ-ent from all of the other tour-naments in that the Classiceach angler fishes by himself.The non-boater is responsi-ble for findng a boat to fishfrom. They may fish with afellow club angler however asin all the other events arefished as a team; the classicis as individuals.The weights were meagerat best as only 5 legal basswere caught and the winner,Roger Cicotte was the win-ner. Second place went toDan Miller and third wasawarded to Podney Pontious.After the weigh-in the an-glers ere treated to some finegrilled food prepared by fel-low member Chef AndyColyer.

The Department of Natural Re-sources reminds hunters that thearchery deer season openedstatewide on Monday, Oct. 1. Theseason runs through Nov. 14, thenreopens after the firearm deer sea-son for late archery hunting Dec. 1through Jan. 1. Autumn is a greattime to enjoy the outdoors in Michi-gan and bow hunting can be donewhen the weather is mild.During the archery season, anarchery license, combination li-cense regular tag or combination li-cense restricted tag can be used toharvest either an antlerless deer ora qualifying buck. Antlerless-onlylicenses are also valid during thearchery season.If a hunter chooses to harvest abuck with an archery tag or combi-nation license, the following restric-tions apply:Using an archery tag: bucks musthave one antler at least 3 incheslong, except in DMUs 117, 135 and245, where one antler must have atleast two points, and in DMUs 045,115 and 122, where one antler musthave at least three points.Using a combination license reg-ular tag: bucks must have oneantler at least 3 inches long, exceptin DMU 245, where one antler musthave at least two points, and inDMUs 045, 115, 487 and the entireUpper Peninsula (U.P.), where oneantler must have at least threepoints.Using a combination license re-stricted tag: bucks must have atleast four points on one side.Hunters are limited to purchas-ing only two kill tags for bucks eachyear – either an archery tag and aregular firearm tag, or a combina-tion license with two kill tags validduring both the archery andfirearm hunting seasons. Regard-less of the types of licenses pur-chased, if two bucks are harvested,one of them must have at least fourpoints on at least one antler. Also, if a buck is harvested in the U.P. orDMU 487 with an archery tag, a sec-ond buck cannot be taken from thatsame hunting unit (U.P. or 487) witha regular firearm license. Huntersare encouraged to be familiar withthe antler point restrictions in theirchosen DMU before purchasing a li-cense.All archery and firearm seasonsare open to crossbow hunting, ex-cept in the U.P., where deer hunterscannot use crossbows after Nov. 30unless they have a disability per-mit. The free crossbow stamp isstill required for all crossbowhunters.Hunters are also reminded thatthe baiting of deer is prohibited inAlcona, Alpena, Montmorency andOscoda counties, and within thetownships of Oscoda, Plainfield,Wilber, Au Sable and Baldwin inIosco County. Elsewhere, baitingmay occur only from Oct. 1 to Jan 1.No more than 2 gallons of bait maybe present at any hunting site at atime, and it must be spread out overa minimum 10-foot by 10-foot area.If hunters do choose to use bait, theDNR suggests they not place baitrepeatedly at the same point on theground, and only place bait outwhen they are actively hunting.This will minimize the chance of transmission of any disease thatmay be present, either deer-to-deerat bait sites or through contamina-tion of bait.In addition to bringing the open-ing of another Michigan deer sea-son, this fall marks the 75thanniversary of the Pittman-Robert-son Wildlife Restoration Act (PR),the program that directs fundsfrom federal excise taxes onarchery equipment, firearms andammunition back to state wildlifeagencies for wildlife conservation,restoration and hunter education.“The department is extremelyproud of the recreational and eco-nomic benefits of bow hunting, andof the important way in whichmore than 320,000 archers supportwildlife management in Michigan,”said DNR deer and elk programleader Brent Rudolph.“The vast majority of all wildlifeconservation efforts have beenfunded by hunters and trappersthrough the equipment and licensesthat they buy,” Rudolph said, “andthe DNR, Michigan citizens and allwho benefit from Michigan’s natu-ral resource-based economy are in-debted for those contributions.”Detailed information about deerhunting regulations can be found inthe Michigan Hunting and Trap-ping Digest, available at all licensevendors, DNR Operations ServiceCenters and online at www.michi-gan.gov/hunting.
