We don't hunt but I sure do like getting a feed or two of moose here. Much tastier than deer. We generally fish in the winter. Love to go ice fishing. The walleye are so much tastier in the winter.

Both of my boys deer hunt here on the property. The season is extra long here now, due to CWD.........so sad, you dont see as many deer now!

My late husband, and my brothers, and sister used to go hunting. I worked full time back then, so I didn't go. I miss having the deer and elk meat for the winter time. It was a fun time, but I didn't really like cutting the meat. Brings back memories.

My DH and sons have been deer hunting this week. One son got a 9 point, DH got a 7 point and other son got a nap in the tree stand (LOL). So needless to say I am grounded from October until January, then I get to travel again and search for fabrics. I don't deer hunt, but I do like to fish.

I used to bow hunt for whitetail deer years ago. I do miss having the venison in the freezer. My fiance and I are avid fishers. We fish for walleye, perch and salmon. My screen name is a combination of nautical and DeeDee, nickname I go by. We love the Great Lakes and all they have to offer. We have 2 boats. A 26' cuddy walk around and a 14' aluminum fishing boat, so that we can get out on almost any water here in Michigan except the frozen kind. I would love to try ice fishing but honey gets cold too easy and I won't try it alone. I have always heard the walleye are tastier in Montana and Minnesota and Canada. One day hopefully we will try a trip to one of these areas.

We ship our cattle the 1st of October, so we open the ranch up for anyone who wants to hunt. No cattle are on the place until hunting season is almost over.
OOOOHH I say we meet at Marlys, bring our hubby's.. send them off to hunt and or fish and WE have a quilting party!!
Whos game??!?!?!?!! :lol:
I'm game! Come on over - and yes, I am serious!!!
So how much are the out of state hunting license there?
I'm not sure, I have never asked. I think they are a bit pricey. I can ask DH when he comes home, I'm sure he would have a ball park figure.
DH said that the hunters from Wisconsin paid around $350 for an out of state deer license and he heard that they will be going up next year. Ouch! My brother comes from out of state, but he doesn't shoot anything. My DH buys a tag and they go together. When my DH shoots something, they clean it out together, haul it out together and my brother takes the meat. Win-win for everyone!
