The spring of '08 was pretty good for most of us, in terms of the spring hunt. I think a fair number of us bagged birds and some great memories to go along with that turkey dinner.

The demise of the Pigeon River Country State Forest and our efforts to restore it to being one of the most unique forests found on this small planet has been a 3 year effort. Until the recent additional purchase 65 percent of the Pigeon was purchased using hunter and angler dollars. It now totals 118,000 acres. Uncontrolled recreation was destroying the wild character of the Pigeon, among them horses, mountain bikes and snowmobiles. The BIG WILD had become the BIG DUDE RANCH. |
