MI is a great state, it's the only state where the wives have tagged more deer than their husbands
Only state where someone needs a truck load beets to shoot sparkie the wonder buck.
We have the only group who use 20 gauge slug BH, and then stick an arrow through it.
A fawn is upgraded to a yearly after it is shot.
If you shoot a big buck, you broke the law.
If you do it more than once, you're a felon.
Only state where if you shoot a big buck, your stand is now the new hot spot.
Terms like legal, shooting light, knowing what you shoot, where you shoot are for rookies
Man I love MI

I think it also depends on the type of land you hunt. In WI if you hunt only public, you shoot most anything that comes by. On the flip side, the people who own private land are getting into QDM in myparts.

It's all about what hunters are used to and how they have been brought up in the "traditions" of those who have introduced them.
I believe that a lot of the stereotypes regionally ring true or at least to a considerable degree.
As always Fran you are to funny! I think all of us just wished that the people involved in hunting pursued it with class and dignity.

that was an accurate and funny assesment of the different regions, here in Maine it depends on what part of the state you live n. In the northern section where the economy is poor they care more about the meat. Last year i was at my friends camp and one of the camps down the road had a 280lb dressed 13 pointer, by far the biggest dear I have ever seen, I was telling a local about it, the first thing he said was,"That ain't gonna eat good." What I saw as an amazing trophy he saw as a bad eating animal.
