I check in here about this time every year, other than that I live on the multiple FB groups and the Michigan Sportsman Forum (MSF). Speaking about contests, ironically this is my 2nd year running the turkey hunting contest for the MSF crew, some dandy birds been hitting the dirt in Michigan since the season opened on April 19th I don't participate in the contests anymore, but also bagged a nice one on the 2nd day of season (Easter morning) he was a foolish old bird who tried to gobble himself to death until he met his match at 30 paces. Weighed 24.9lbs, sported matching 1 3/8 spurs and his whiskers were just shy of 11". My wife got in a bad auto accident at the end of March, otherwise I'd be in NY right now scouting for May 1 opener (headed there the 2nd week instead). Starting to plan more out of state hunts because I want to make sure I'm young enough to chase those mountain Merriams - and JW - I may swing around the lake next year to hunt those fat birds you grow in Cheese Country.
