Military coon hunter in Michigan
Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Justin Thornton and I have been running coonhounds for most of my life. I am originally from West Virginia, but because of the job market I was forced to seek work else where. After not being able to find suitable work i decided to join the Military where I found my calling in the US Coast Guard. I have been in the coast guard for about two years this coming this December. Since I have joined the service I have had the chance to meet alot of new and interesting people. Because of my line of work it is hard to find time to hunt. But since I have recently be stationed in Port Huron, MI my chances for hunting have increased. It is very hard to pack up and move myself and my family every couple of years and go to a new location to basically start over but that is the path that we chose. However it is even harder to move from place to place and try to keep hounds because we all have our favorite hunting spots and i bet that if one day everyone woke up and could no longer go hunting at that spot you would know what i meen. SO HERE IS WHAT I AM ASKING. If anyone coonhunts or knows someone who hunts in this general area, Who wouldn't mind having one more hunting buddy please feel free to write me or you may even call me on my cell (304)-982-0208. If i dont answer i am probably working so please leave a message.
THANKS FOR READING AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.

I've go to work tomorrow and friday , but after that , I'm off for 9 days. If your willing to make the trip , you're more than welcome to come along. Won't cost you a dime.
I gotta warn ya though , I'm not an all-nighter.
My sister used to live in Port Huron. If I remember right , it's about a 3 hour trip.

Justin you might try going to Imlay City on the 21st of this month. They are having a night hunt up there its a few miles east of you on 69. That would be a good way of meeting people in your area.
