I have hunted all over Michigan and the only hogs I have seen or any of my hunting friends have seen are behind high fences. They say they are in the areas we hunt as well as NW Ohio. If they are there they hide pretty good. We have even tried to run dogs for them.More coyotes and cats(big cats) then they are saying there is though for sure.
I know it. I have some friends in Alabama that have them everywhere and that is like my dream animal to kill so naturally I got excited when they said we have them in Michigan. I have never even seen sign of one and I look especially hard, treking 5 and 6 miles into the woods and fields with absolutely no luck. =/
have never seen one.....YES REDWINGS SCORE!!!....but i have only heard of one wild hog actually in the state, and im pretty sure it was shot. as rick said, from what ive been hearing there are some cougars in MI, i ahve never seen one but i have a buddy who said he came face to face with a mt lion and swears on his life as to what it was. it was in the lower peninsula to.
For sure man. I worked on a farm and we would have cows get wrecked by some animal and we heard about cougars in the area and then saw some paw prints...its pretty unnerving haha. AND YES! If you are a Red Wings fan you are a friend to me haha I see 4-0 in their near future.
oh for sure, bring out the brooms, coyotes are about to get swept...idk how far were gonna go with howard in the net though, we need a goalie. hes to inconsistent.
Osgood anyone? haha
bleh hes overrated, only time he ever shows up is in the playoffs and even then he is inconsistent, i think i would rather have howard then osgood in the net....well at least we just tied it up.
Wings are notorious for losing half the game and coming back haha OR winning half the game and losing. I think they do that to draw it out haha It legitimately stresses me out. I found a white hair in my 20 year old beard man! haha
dont stress i found a grey hair when i was 17...thank god it was only one, i think it was a fluke, but if these games keep going back and forth this way it might turn into an entire head of grey hair by the time im 20.
haha! I have a wife, a daughter, and another girl on the way...so I welcome the white hair. Im gonna look like friggin Gandalf when im 25 haha
jesus i hope i dont look like gandalf when im 25....though this whole college thing is starting to kill me, i have 4 papers due on friday, im running on 5 hours of sleep the past 48 hours, which might do it to me....
Sheesh! I took a break from college 2 years ago and got married. College is worth it, I am only 2 years away from a degree and I need to finish. I am working and have a family and will be doing school... Take advantage of this haha When you graduate and have your nice comfy job straight out of school you will be greatful you didn't take a break and get married and never know if your job will be there tomorrow haha. You can do it! coffee is your best study partner haha
that might be the problem, i dont drink coffee...
I drink it to maintain some amount of manliness in my estrogen filled atmosphere...
haha makes sense to me...most estrogen i get in my day is when my roomate starts bit*****, or the girls down the hall start yelling at each other.
haha I don't have that problem (yet) but I just need to have some dude time. I went out and bought some clays and some shells and me and my friend are gonna pattern the 20 gauge we talked about and do some trick shots. Let the manliness begin!
my manliness begins when school gets out and i can turkey hunt, finally gonna get to shoot something.
Figure this out I'm 33, dad is almost 60 I have more gray hairs than him! What!! "That's not right!!"
Try to explaine this to me to me too. WI is trying to past a law that you can shoot a mountain lion if its attacking your live stock but you can not shoot a wolf thats attacking your live stock. ????????????? Am I missing something?
Kyle, I'm don't know the answer to your question about being able to shoot an attacking mountain lion but not a wolf, but my first thought is that maybe the wolf is a federally endangered species and the mountain lion isn't? just a wild a** guess
maybe because they dont want to have to deal with all the antis that get all up in arms anytime a piece of legislation is passed regarding the shooting of wolves. just my guess.
If you're interested in this in more detail email me deerhunterrick@buckeye-express.com and I will let you in on the scoop about Cougars in Michigan and where they are currently. And it ain't the U.P. my brother inlaw is a professional trapper for the state. And he has seen them up close and personal
i have hunted in west michigan for a long time and have never seen a wild pig. i dont think that they are as highly populated as everyone says they are
