Todd Farm? what is it? where is it? how do you get drawn for it?

[DIRTY DOG]

the todd farm is a wild life refuge run by the state of mi.

its in allegen co. near fennville and is primarrily a waterfoul refuge

to get into the draw you can check with the local lisence dealers sometime in aug. and get the paper work and send a post card in with your info{there is no info or way to apply on the web} and if you are succsesful they will notify you by mail ,it dose not happen every year thouhgt this is only the third one in 6 years so it is more or less a toss up of it will happen next year or not, they do not decide till july
