Spring Turkey Season, comes to an end

Image
The spring turkey season in Michigan is by permits only and opens in mid April and ends the last day of May. My permit was for May 5th until the end of the month, I could hunt state or private land in the upper half of the state and only private in the lower half of the state. I was able to hunt a friends place down in the lower part of the state. The first time I got out was a beautiful Thursday morning. I didn't make it out in to the woods until after the sun was up but, there was still some Toms gobbling off in the distance. I chose to hunt the edge of the woods along a newly planted corn field and my friend took to the woods. I sat just in side of the woods and made calls about every half hour or so.

What's in my Bag, part.2

 In the above two photos you can see what I carry when in the field. I was turkey hunting when I took these photos. Starting with, my bed roll.

First my shot bag is 6" wide by 7" deep with a small inside pocket. Attached to the bag strap is a vent pick & brush. The powder measure is attached to the horn.

Fall Bear Hunt

Image
Just a few more days and I will be heading north to try my luck again at taking a Michigan black bear. The bait is getting hit hard with 10 to 15 pounds disappearing every day. The trail cams are showing several bear coming in with two being of good size. Again I will be doing the hunt in period clothing of the 1760 and using my flintlock smooth-bore. The long range weather is showing rain almost everyday at some point and time. Hoping that will change as the time goes on. One of the large bears was taken the other evening so looking over the other trail cam photos and videos this looks to be the one.
