The shooting of 2 kids happened in grayling, whole story hasnt come out, appears to be accidental discharge inside the home. One bullet hit one in the foot and one in the ankle in another room. They will be ok
What do either of these accidents have to do with hunting Public land?
I can tell you exactly how he feels. About thirtyfive years ago three brother, my neighbors were pushing a corn field. One of the brothers, my age, was shot and killed by another brother. A horrible mistake. The other two brothers have never hunted again and I am sure deer season brings back memories they wish they didn't have.
They said on the news that the father was getting ready to go hunting and picked up his rifle which went off. Bullet went thru the wall and hit a table and both kids were hit with splinters off the table. If that is what happened why was the gun loaded. News showed a picture of a bullet hole in the wall
They don’t however I’ve never liked firearm season on public due to the yahoo’s that can be present. The people who mostly scare me away are the folks who hear or see something then launch 5 slugs in the air. I’ve heard shooting like that too many times.
I understand you shoot, the deer is staggering and you need a follow up shot. Shots three, four and five and you should have your gun taken away. Nothing safe is going on there. Not to mention you probably started out taking a bad shot opportunity that isn’t a high percentage kill shot. During gun season I’ve seen deer shot in the ass, rear leg shot off, and I seen one fawn shot in the nose once. Just have to shake your head. These guys have zero respect for the sport or the animal much less the safety and respect for the people around them. I started out as a kid hunting state land here for years before I went to strictly private land. This is the first year in a long time I’m hunting state land and I have to say nothing surprises me.
u did get a dandy this year on state though however? I believe it was you anyhow.
just curious but I see a handful of guys bash the crap outta powerbelts. They have always worked for me so curious what’s the issues guys have had with them?
Very low weight retention.
Scored 161 6/8 gross. He weighed 192lbs and from the teeth wear we honestly think he is a three year old. I’m bummed because I wanted to send the teeth in to get him aged but I have half a jaw bone. My taxi sent the other half to the dnr for cwd testing. I thought the jaw bone with the teeth is what you needed but it turns out you need the two center front teeth on the bottom. If he is a three year old and 160+ I can’t even imagine how special of a deer he would have been at five+. I am very thankful and grateful to be able to see a buck of that caliber on the hoof let alone be lucky enough to get him.
Did you take those two deer from roughly the same area? The racks are so similar one could conclude there's some common DNA in there. Maybe an offspring?Scored 161 6/8 gross.

This is his horns setting on the other nice Michigan buck I killed a few years back. That scored 174 7/8 gross.

It’s weird they have some similar characteristics.

Nope, it’s crazy though ain’t it the similarities? One was killed in lenawee county by Addison and the one I just got on November 7th was killed by Manchester in Jackson county.
And they are very inconsistent with expansion
