You should post up those Michigan GPS coordinates so folks could see them in person. You know, for viewing purposes only.

If you coming from the south you want to head north on 1-75 after you cross the Mi. border. Continue north 205 miles and turn right

This bunch came visiting every morning this past week. Also have a group of 3 hens and 5 poults as well as a bachelor group of 7 Toms hanging around.

Shooting compound or crossbow ?

Have a blessed day Tommy.

I've been wanting to build a cannon for years. Ever since I seen one on Michigan Outdoors with Fred Trost. It was pretty slick .The guy used a car scissor jack for elevation and It fired a gold ball sized lead ball.

I called in a bird for my BIL a few years ago. I forget what shot he was using. The bird was moving to the left of us. He shot ,bird down.Dressed it out and found copper plates on the opposite side under the wing. Removed the tail fan and found a bunch of lead shot under the butt flap.The shot actua...

FYI Make sure and watch Steve Rinella's episode on "MeatEater" concerning trichinosis contracted from eating improperly cooked black bear meat. Congrats on the tag and be careful.

OH YEAH ! Gotta treat bear like pork. Well done.

Congrats :thumbup: Dogs or bait???? :stir: Bait. Although hounds are an option. I know a fella out of Winn that hunts with great dogs, I believe in 2 different areas in the U.P.. Your tag isn't probably in those areas as I'm sure he may have room for another hunt?? Regardless, kill a big bruin :thu...

Got drawn for a Michigan bear tag today. It takes approx. 9 years to get drawn in the area I like to hunt. This would have been my 9th year.IMG_3106.jpg

It's amazing that they can fish in water that rough.

He's directly below a spillway. we are standing on the covered bridge across the river. This pic is from a couple years ago and shows the bridge and spillway.

Caught this guy fishing on the Huron river in Flatrock. He's so use to humans he doesn't fly away either.

Wayne county Mi. just cancelled this years fair.

I have a gamo varmint. Good gun for money. Hardest part about spring air guns is the recoil on optics you have to get a scope that is made to withstand the awkward recoil a spring gun has.

Not sure I understand what you mean by spring gun. What other options are there ?

Considering an air rifle for critter control in the garden. Not looking to spend a bunch of money (maybe 200 bucks) and was just wondering if anyone uses a Benjamin. I see they come in .177 and .22 cal. Most of the varmint will be rabbits with occasional ground hogs.

I recently ordered a pair of full fingered weight lifting gloves from an online store call "Bonanza". Apparently they are some type of broker company. Anyway the order was being handled by "Discount Golf" with pretty decent reviews. Anyway, waited over 2 weeks, kept getting the run around so I canc...

Immediately after ordering I was offered a 2nd belt at half price. Why not have a spare. Then I was offered a 3rd belt at 75 % off. I declined and ordered ju...
