    Island deer hunt

    I’m calling the ferry to cancel my trip at noon today. If there’s no waitlist you can call them and take my spot on the second boat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Island deer hunt

    I’m hearing they’re up to 250 applicants so far. It’s going to be really crowded this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New guy from Michigan

    Thanks for the welcome. I’m pretty set on the basics like tent, bag, bivy, pad, backpack, and stove. If there’s anything you take with you that most people don’t think about I’m all ears. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No I haven’t used the silex yet. I was holding out for their blem sale but no dice. I forgot about their 4-6 week lead time so I’m considering going through gohunt. The most I’ve seen complaint wise is that the chimney is close to the tent if it isn’t angled properly. I don’t have any concrete...

    Work Boots

    Thorogood boots are comfy but the soles don’t hold up. I’m a machinist running big boring mills so chips are everywhere. I had my doubts about the sole from the beginning but the guy at the boot store said they’d hold up. The soles are almost wore out in 3 months. They also say oil/slip...

    Trucklessyooper no I didn’t end up going this year. There are a few member that went this year. It was a different year with no ferry service but apparently 135ish hunters took part this year. So far one tip I’ve heard is that there’s barns and whatnot that you can stash heavier gear like a...

    Coldest Temp you have camped/hunted in?

    -20 degree wind chill and snowing. Me and my brother went out rabbit hunting because we where bored. We got one or two but I remember it being so cold that the action froze up on my old .410 pump.

    Short range weapon ideas

    I come from Michigan and for years we were only allowed shotguns or muzzleloaders in the lower part of the state. I had a rifled 12ga that I used and I didn’t care for it recoil and accuracy wise. If your looking for a good slug gun stick with 20ga either the savage 220 or H&R single shots. You...

    450 Bushmaster thread protector??

    One should be in the box I believe. If not give Ruger a call and they’ll probably send one out for free. If you want to source on yourself the threads are 11/16-24. Secure it with some loctite or a wave washer.

    2020 North Manitou Island hunt in Michigan, any going?

    Hey guys I know the hunts getting close. I’d really appreciate it if you guys could document the hunt. I’m planning on doing this hunt in the future and am not really sure what to expect. I’d love to see what gear your running and how you go about storing the meat throughout the week.

    New guy from Michigan

    Hey guys I’m Cody a mid Michigan native. We may not have the kind of hunting the majority of the members here are used to, but we do have some interesting hunting. My main reason for joining is to prepare for a North Manitou Island deer hunt. It’s a large uninhabited island in Lake Michigan...
