Grew up in rural Howell, Mi. had all the land I wanted to hunt. 4 miles off pavement. Went away to school for 2 years in Kalamazoo, came back and it was all getting built up.Went to school in the UP of michigan for another 5 years and got my BSN in nursing. Been an RN at U of M for the past 9 years. Currently in the Cardio-Vascular ICU. Much of my hunting now is at my buddies place just outside of Onaway in the North East part of the state around Black Lake. We build a cabin on his 2 acres in the middle of the Macinaw State Forest. Then hunting is tough up there but very rewarding when you connect. I still do some hunting down state. Brian (Michiganwhitetail74) set me up this past season to get a nice doe kill on video.
