I am guessing you won't find a lot of specific information?

I hope you have good weather and a great hunt!

 

:help:

 

Yup lots of birds east of FL, and west of it and north of it and south of it.

I've even seen a grouse on the island in Fife Lake.

Good luck this weekend, it should be a great weekend to be out.

 

I was there this past weekend,I flushed a few and even flushed a Woodcock which suprised me after that snow they had up there.The only problem I had was the Grouse were flushing too far ahead of me and my dog.With snow on the ground it was kind of hard not to make noise.Now that I think about it I should of kept my dog a little closer.If you do go save some for me I am going to try and make another trip up there before Deer season.

 

Yeah, I'll tell you a sweet spot!


if you take Fife Lake road to where it intersects US131, you will see some trees bordering the road off to your left. They include some aspen, maple, oak, and white pine.

Ok, now what you want to do is drive north on US131 until you hit a bridge over a river (not sure of the name).

When you hit that river, keep going north until you get to another bridge, I think it is called Macinak or Macinaw or something. There are birds above that and below it for miles and miles. Pretty close to Fife Lake too!

Good luck!

Try that cover over by the river. It was good for me. I left all the birds I found.:yikes:

 

The river flats along the Manistee east of Fife Lake will hold a good number of birds for you. Try south along the river off of M66.
