Going to Kalkaska
«

I am visiting the Kalkaska MI area later in the month of July, mostly to see my wife's family (whom I actually like a lot), fish for walleye with my brother-in-law, and hunt for a Fred Bear bow!
Outside of visiting Grayling and wishing I was a whole lot sooner, is there anything in the way of traditional no-to-be-missed stuff, as long as I'm in the area?
If anyone wants to get together for coffee and trad talk, let me know.

there is a Trad shop in Sand Lake called Traditional Outdoor Supply if you are by any chance heading towards Grand Rapids from Kalkaska. Its right on the way.

I'm not close but there are members here that live in or around Kalkaska. A quick look at Michigan Bowhunters News and the closest 3D shoot I could find for late July was in Lewiston. Roughly 50 miles from Kalkaska. I know at one time there was an archery club in the Kalkaska area and for all I know it could still be there.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Kalkaska is not much but about 7 or 8 miles west on M-72 to Elk Lake rd, then north a mile or so is a real nice 3-D coarse so bring your bow. If you can get your hands on a boat the Elk/Torch chain of lakes is 39,000 acres of the prettest water you might ever see as are the Grand Traverse Bays. Tourests seem to like Traverse City to for some reason in the summer time. I just don't see it myself but I suppose when compaired to down state, it's OK. That's about it.

real good pizza plus lots of Bear memorabilia on the walls many bows and articles about the great company that left Grayling in 1978. good luck finding a bow for sale there most went on **** years ago.

I used to hunt around Kalkaska about 30 years ago. We almost got in a big fight at the Kalho bar!

killinstuff, some how I had a feeling that it was one of those places that still would be!
Jack, its a big world and a shame not to see some of it, not a lot of places left on my "A" list though!

kalkaska is a poor area overall for deer IMO, but a little travel and you will be into them! There is an Elm hall longbow shoot in two weeks, and in three weeks the great lakes longbow shoot in hastings, MI
