"taking a chance and hunt a spot, and hope I don't get in trouble."

The above statement is what has given many of southeren Michigan deer hunter a bad rep and even closed a bunch of private property that was once open just by asking.
I busted my butt and went with out some things others refuse to live with out to own my land. I shopped real hard for my home with its wild life. Now today it is cluttered with several color and sizes and types no tresspassing private property signs. Jerk thought since he grew up in the area he could hunt with in 30 yards of my house in the pines.
I also spent the better part of a year finding for me the perfect UPPER Michigan deer camp land. Then another 15 years working every bit of over time I could get and still doing with out stuff most won't live with out. I know people with cable TV bills bigger than my UPPER michigan deer camp monthly payment was. Still have down state fools who think they can just drive out early in the morning and set in my heated deer blind. There is 6000 acres of state and federal lands a half mile down the road. Again the place is cluttered with signs so all the idiots should be able to read them.

Here in Michigan the ML season opens in Dec. Public land then is nearly a wasteland as far as hunter see goes.
