Whitecloud, I also live in MI and had to hope for a tag, but all worked out for me and I got the hunt I wanted. I dont think you will have a problem getting a bird, from what I have been told they are all over in your area.

LBR good idea, and I think I have some burlap from last deer season.

DC,you is nutz, do you hunt private land? Were I hunt in MI (Timber CO land and State) we cant hang stands tell the first day of bow season, not cool.
