Attacks on hunting are attacks on the gun culture.

Food always seems to taste better when you’ve provided it for yourself. It gives one a sense of pride in being able to provide for the family too.

Happy hunting guys!

Off topic, but what is your opinion of the poly-choke?
I guess you probably wouldn’t use it if you felt it was totally worthless, but does it really perform as advertised?

I started hunting when I was 12. But I haven’t hunted in years.

It used to be that you could afford to hunt or fish a couple times a year, but now, with all the BS government rules, you have to hunt a LOT or it just is not worth it. I’ve also noticed that the percentage of hunters who are nut jobs has increased. It used to be that the hunters were a cross section of normal land owners and their friends, now they are mostly obsessed weirdos who spend more money on camo outfits than on their trailer park rent. If your camo pants match your camo jacket, you know who you are.

When the system collapses, all these bureaucratic rules won’t stop market hunters from wiping out all large game East of the Mississippi in one week.

Nice post. Takes me back 70 years, walking the woods with my Dad.

Michigan is getting harder and harder to hunt upland birds, ya got to go up north for the them. The only salvation for us southern Michiganders was the potential to hunt doves, but that was thrown by the wayside.......

Currently, Michigan does not allow the hunting of the Mourning dove because the bird is not a game species listed in Public Act 21. In 2006, Act 160 of 2004 allowed mourning doves to be listed as game species, but was rejected in the 2006 election and therefore, Mourning doves are not hunted in Michigan.

There are pheasants here in S.E. Michigan, I've seen them crossing roads in the less populated areas such as Macomb Twp and Lenox but good luck finding the land owners of the fields, let alone getting them to allow you to hunt them.......

The last time I hunted pheasant was maybe 2001 and had to fork up the expenses to travel to N.W. Kansas..........I can't afford that anymore......
