You might be legal depending on the zone to hunt with that 30.06. But if you get caught shooting at birds in a tree with a high powered rifle you are more than likely going to get written up for careless discharge of a fire arm under MI law.
That was my e-mail Randy and you took it way to serious. And it was not to lecture you. You posed the question as to why anyone would need a hinting dog to hunt Grouse. I was answering that question. It looks like you made more out of my e-mail than was there. I did not intend for my e-mail to...
Randy I have seen some of the hate the western guide services have for you. If it were up to them they would have you tossed from RMEF and band from ever hunting.
I am glad you did this interview. But lets call this bill what it real is, it's protectionism for guides. Will it force non...

Several years ago I called the MI DNR on a land owner that had posted no hunting signs on about 50 acre of state land adjacent to his private land. He had also barricaded the two track on the public land. Never found out what happened to the land owner but the signs were removed and the two...
I hate to be judged by my internet activity. I am on many forums (dog forums, gun forums, water fowl forums, upland forums, Michigan hunting forums) and do not often go to those forums unless I seek information or to respond to a topic that comes through my e-mail. I often just read what comes...
