For sure MI, nationwide would be hit also on consumer sales. Hunting trips? Why go[&:]
Example
Out of states LIC sales. Anybody know what Iowa and ILL brought in?
Why go? Because you like to hunt and challenge yourself with different areas that you don't know like your backyard? Mature bucks without antlers would still be the same challenge, right? And going to a different place, one that doesn't have your 25 permanent stands because you know where the deer are, would be an even bigger challenge, right? It would still be the same challenge, the bucks would still be as smart except you would not have the rack to show your friends. And we hunt mature bucks because they are the smartest and more of a challenge, right? LOL
Why I hunt them
Question I have is it worth the money to shoot the samething in your own backyard?
I spent 390.00 on out of state tags. I can shoot 5 deer in MI, that is plenty. I paid the money to go hunt bucks in KY and Ohio. I just do not see myself paying to go shoot the exact same thing. I can understand why duck hunters do it today. They follow the ducks, but the deer are here and they all look the same
Than again maybe I would[8D]
