Pine country in our state starts in mid-Michigan and I live in Southeast Michigan.
Our Huron National Forest where I test those bullets comprises hundreds of square miles in mid/Norther Lower Michigan. That's where many junk pines, evergreen pines and oaks are. Our state government is currently allowing deforestation like crazy/ Log trucks going down the road are everywhere in mid-state and higher.
Where we hunted, I could hear the saws going in the distance. Pretty sad indeed, for all hunters there. Only ones not complaining are the wood burning stove homes. Costs them 1/3rd the amount that propane does for the winter. Place where we stayed burns 15-1/2 cords per winter (725 dollars). Prior to that, he paid a little over 2K in propane.
