Bear of any kind top my list. I've no issues with anyone taking a bear legally. Self defense in a bear encounter would be the exception to me shooting at one.
A friend released a young one from a foothold trap set for fox in Union Co. this past fall. He said the little guy wasn't very grateful about the whole experience🤣
I live in Michigan and had this conversation with the local conservation officer a few years ago. He wouldn't authorize removal, and didn't have the time to come out. I was advised that if I did take down a stand after season and it had no name/address & a warden happened upon me, I'd likely be...
I had to Google coon tail perch. Never heard yellow perch called that🤣
I have heard the term "convicts" and "bandits" used for yellow perch, eludung to their stripped appearance.
Taste is subjective but there's no way perch are better than crappie😉
Growing up in Michigan everyone called them specks. It wasn't until the Army started sending me to various states that I learned everyone else used the proper term "crappie". My favorite meal😋
Yes, a dog can be a good bird dog under those circumstances. They know when it's time to play and when it's time to work.

Use the toy the dog loves the most as the reward for accomplishing the task.
Start by making the task so easy you kind of feel dumb doing it. Show the dog what the goal is and guide it to success, then give it the reward toy for a short play session. Increase the difficulty of the task very...
I have USCCA so hopefully that will cover it. If not then Colorado will be off my list which sucks but if checked for license by a CO and they asked for insurance, not good if a person didn't have any.
Colorado is working on a great way to cut non-resident tourism dollars.
I have one friend that I'd trust with my life in that situation or any that I can think of.
I also have a friend that I'm 100% certain would have ran if he'd have been the guy with the guy. Probably why he's my FISHING friend🤣
I would choose 2 weeks of upland bird hunting with fully staffed chef, lodge and cabins for my wife & I, my dogs and closest friends in Interior Alaska.
The scenery, hunting and memories made with friends would satisfy me.
Michigan suspended spring ruffed grouse drumming counts for a while because there were a small number of people using FOI requests to find exactly where the drumming grouse were heard then hunt that location in the fall. For a GROUSE🤣
Michigan DNR has since found a work around.
