  1. Deer Hunting Regulations, Proposals, and Law Debat
    Correction: this is a proposal to be voted upon in the next couple of weeks. Read on a mi online news source. Proposed due to dwindling numbers of young hunters.
  2. Deer Hunting Regulations, Proposals, and Law Debat
    Yes, single buck. New law allows a full week of hunting vs a weekend hunt in previous.
  3. Boating and Boat Rigging
    Same exact situation happened to my 18 ft starcraft islander. I was running late to get my boat on the water in mid- may when I smelled something rotten as I walked past the boat. As I pulled back the tarp it was like a bad dream. Four decaying fox squirrels had spent the winter destroying all...
  4. General Michigan Hunting
    Have never recovered a fusion bullet. Not sure of shoulder impact but can say that internal damage is devastating to internal body cavity.
  5. General Michigan Hunting
    Second that. I have tikka's in 243 & 308 and a ruger 30-06 M77 and all shoot fusions great. Terminal performance is as good as it gets with fusion. All deer are DRT or within 15 ft of impact. No issues ever and have been shooting them since they were available.
  6. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    It's surprising to me that neighbors and those in his social circle did not blow the whistle much sooner. To think that this large scale poaching went on for decades is hard to imagine. Ignorance & greed have no limits for some people.
  7. General Michigan Hunting
    I took my first buck in 1976. In my early years " luck " played a large part in success. Now in my 60's, planning & preparing to ambush a particular deer is what keeps things exciting. Seems like a natural order as hunters gain decades of hunting experiance. Quality is much more rewarding and...
  8. Whitetail Deer Habitat
    Yes, my U.P. property gets trophy rock 465 & a trace mineral block each year. Deer hit it daily from April thru early Sept. Jury is out if it helps promote antler growth. Lucky buck also works great as an attractant but is light on minerals & mostly salt.
  9. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    My last trip around Chicago was on a Sunday headed to mayo clinic in Mn. I thought, how bad could it be on a Sunday? It was beyond bad. Never again. The only time I hope to see Chicago again is on television!
  10. Whitetail Deer Habitat
    I have been researching a hunt in Sk for about 2 years. Many of the outfitters have huge leases of government forest land ( 100,000 acres plus ) which adjoins agricultural land. They hunt the fringes. Deer get good nutrition from the ag land and have the vast forest for security & cover. Many...
  11. 4 Wheeling - ATVs
    Time to sign up as a " premium member " and discuss the new woke society issue on the political forum. I think we are done beating a dead horse. Moving on....

    No thanks needed. šŸŽÆ

    Put your new can am in the garage, cover it up with a tarp & then pull it out on March 31st. You'll have saved some hard earned dollars and wear on the new machine. Life is full of rules & regulations we don't agree with. Get used to it or call the DNR complaint dept.
  14. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Any chance that snipers are using crossbows as weopon ?
  15. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    It's alot more work hunting alone but I still enjoy many aspects of going solo. At age 66, I'm happy to be able to handle a deer myself. In one of my remote hunting areas if I tag another deer it will be coming out boneless.
  16. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Correction, show name is actually live to hunt with cody & kelsey.
  17. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Love to hunt with cody Robbins has become a favorite. He puts in the work and goes far beyond what the average hunter would do. He is not afraid to show being busted and missed shots. It's not always about he & his wife. He often takes out younger & inexperienced hunters and guides them as a...
  18. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Same experiance for me. Deer was laying in middle of road at night. Crippled with head up. I waited about 20 min for deputy to show up to dispatch deer. She suffered a slow & agonizing death but didn't seem to be broken up too bad. I thought it would be fine since it was winter & I processed...
  19. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Just my opinion but I can't buy into the farm deer theory. Think of the logistics to pull that off from another state. Too many people involved & pics and sheds of the deer from previous yrs. Someone with knowledge or history of this animal would have come forward by now.
  20. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Seems like one would have to be both a magician & world class taxidermist to do surgery and alter the skullcap of a deer that would pass the scrutiny of those who measured and scored the deer. How would an altered skull hold up to the pressure of handling the deer from the recovery to loading in...
