Veteran bear hunter Jason Morrison and his hunting crew have vowed not to come back to the Gwinn Bear Management Unit’s Rock River Canyon until the Michigan Department of Natural Resources can control wolves.
“They’ve ruined the spot for us,” he said. “We’re not going back until we get a season on (wolves).”
“They’re out of control,” Morrison said.

Michigan’s wolf population continues to anger hunters and farmers across the Upper Peninsula as conservation groups urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to return management to states.
Michigan’s minimum winter wolf population remains around 700, though Department of Natural Resources officials have acknowledged that figure will increase during peak spring months. The official numbers have remained relatively steady during the past decade, as verified attacks on livestock and dogs have fluctuated.

The whitetail rut is upon us, and with it comes a lot of a rut hunting advice.
One thing you’ll hear from plenty of folks is that this is the part of the season where time on stand kills big deer. Dedicated whitetailers sit from dark to dark to make sure they don’t miss a moment when a cruiser might pass by their stand, but all-day sits aren’t that easy to pull off. Most hunters can’t, or won’t, do them. The truth is, if you’re looking to tag a mature buck, you might want to try.

I showed up at a fish cleaning station one day just in time to hear a friendly argument between a couple of fishermen, each claiming to have caught a bigger fish than the other. They’d been fishing together and the first fish of the day was a large lake trout. Both agreed the laker was a great specimen as it was placed in the cooler.
The second fish of the day, caught by angler number two, was another substantially heavy laker, almost identical to fish number one. Or was it?

Sometimes, we attend events that offer a wide range of topics that make us pause and reflect. One of those for me was at last August’s Okoboji Blue Water Festival (OBWF), where Jon Bowermaster provided the keynote speech.
“Jon brings to the festival audience his knowledge of the relationship between man and the seas gleamed from his countless ocean expeditions,” said OBWF organizer Greg Drees.
