Any hunters in the Grand Rapids/ Middleville area of MI?
Wife's job may be taking us there. I noticed most of the clubs are about an hour away, but that's about what I have to travel now. Just wondering what it's like?

I'm about 1 1/2 hous NE of Grand rapids.
Good hunting.
About 5 clubs within an hour and a half of me.
Closest one about 25 minutes.

I'm originally from central Michigan about hour from Grand Rapids, If you get up that way you are in for a big surprise. The coon hunting there will surprise the heck out of you compared to Texas. Very good hunting and yes there are quite a few clubs near bye. Alot of good guys up that way to hunt with also.

oh, come on now! That just adds a little more excitement to the hunt while your waiting for the dogs to strike or tree. LOL So far I've only run across 3 rattlesnakes, 2 copperheads and 1 cotton mouth. Only one dog bit by a copperhead during a nitehunt.

Only!!!! I went hog hunting down around Laredo when I was Stationed at Ft. Hood. Ran over a 6' or better Rattler with a quad it just pissed him off. I would just as soon mess with a 300# Black Bear then those critters

Not sure that was back in 1996 lots of scrub brush, lots of hogs, and lots of snakes, it was a week end bow hunt only.
