Kind of a dissapointing end to an otherwise great season (although there is still 2 weeks left) I went out to the farm I have permission to hunt, and the guys who gun hunt it decided that since their season is over, it would be a great time to start clearing the swamp area up. Well, needless to say, there wasn't one deer track in the snow on the property, and with the storm we have approaching, this would have been an awesome night to put a tag on something.
If anyone is interested in going out of state (but still in the United States) to go hunting in 2011 and beyond, get ahold of me and we will set something up. I would love to do a western hunt for mule deer, antelope or elk, South Dakota for Bison...and not to forget...a pig hunt down south. I don't care if I have to drive or fly, we'll figure something out.
I just can't bring myself to go to one of those high fence ranches to go grocery shopping. None of us are getting any younger, so the longer we wait, the less we are going to be able to do. There has to be someone else out there just like me. Now that I think of it, the world would be alot better if there were others out there like me. LOL
I trully believe that the Michigan DNRE has really fouled up the hunting in this state. It all starts with the early gun season in September. Then there is the 500,000 doe licenses in the southern 3rd of the State they are selling to lower the herd to...in my opinion...please the Insurance Companies. I don't know what the answer is, but all the "early" seasons do is change all the habits of the deer sooner than nature would.
Yes this is a little bit of a rant, but it is also an invitation to any of you longbow/recurve guys who might be interested in getting out of your state and just needed that little bit of a nudge to get the ball rolling. Let me know who is interested, and what you would like to go do. Let's go hunt something together.
