This year has been filled with success for all three winners – Jason Eurich of Saginaw, Mike Sikkenga of Whitehall and Mike DiLorenzo of Rochester.
Eurich and DiLorenzo both were successful in harvesting turkeys during the spring season, and all three Pure Michigan Hunt winners were successful during their September elk hunts.
DiLorenzo bagged a huge 6x6 elk, and Sikkenga harvested a 7x7 bull elk. Check out the video of Mike Sikkenga's elk hunt, recorded by Brian Bouwkamp, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLxJMDwqimA.
Eurich also was successful during his elk hunt when he harvested a 7x7 bull elk. Additionally, he bagged a 300-plus-pound Upper Peninsula black bear and a beautiful fall turkey.
