Ok, I have to say that Michigan does have a few pigs. We found two piglets at the end of our driveway a couple years ago. The local sheriff department had a subject flee into a mile block of woods just north of my house, so they called in a contracted drone operator, who has a flir camera...

Earlybugle, I was at Kankakee F&W area 9/1 and the biologist said that northern Indiana had about 80% of its birds move south the week prior with the cold snap. Unfortunately, I can't verify as we didn't draw for the hunt.

Elk and then Midwestern whitetail... tasty!!

My CZ 457 shoots 3/8" groups at 50 yards.. great gun

Danner... owned both.. last pair of rocky kangaroo leather bird hunting boots... barely over a year old and soles literally fell apart. Boots were like new otherwise... rocky said too bad. Last pair I ever bought, Danner boots are awesome.

2X the Filson dog vest/chest protector... work great.

Plus one on the woodcock tasting funny. I know this sounds strange, but when she is at the bird that is down, walk away from her as you encourage her to bring the bird. Make her choose, usually the dog won't want to leave behind the bird or be left behind herself. Has worked for me many...

Congratulations to your son. What a great story and memory for both of you.

Congratulations to you and your son. My son turns 20 next month... miss that age, so much fun.. enjoy!!
