Bobcat hunting hounds tree cougar in Michigan’s Mackinac County

After years of reported sightings and more than 100 trail camera photos of cougars in the Upper Peninsula, one of the big cats finally was treed by hounds on December 1, 2024 in Mackinac County.
The hounds that treed the mountain lion are owned by John Rickley from St. Ignace. He put his hounds on the track of a bobcat, but the dogs ended up switching to the fresher trail of the wild cat.

New York’s Gibson Brothers have a passion for bucks, brookies, bird dogs and bluegrass

Among the success stories that have originated from New York in relation to artists, entertainers or even sports figures, are the Gibson Brothers – a Bluegrass music act from Clinton County, in Northern New York. Brothers Eric and Leigh Gibson, along with fellow bandmate Mike Barber, have certainly earned any notoriety they have gained and have become icons in the Bluegrass music industry. The music the Gibson Brothers play and the rural lifestyle it pays homage to is solidly ingrained in them. So, it’s only natural that sporting interests like hunting and fishing, along with numerous other outdoor activities, are part of their lives.
