Hunting and fishing license increase – Update
In the last issue of Turkey Tracks we addressed the proposed hunting and fishing license increases.

These seem to be the only money that is available for creating and maintaining habitat on our state forests.
Kenowa Beards and Spurs Chapter – Spring 2008 Update
Greetings M.W.T.H.A. members Well here we are in the middle of another Michigan winter wishing it was spring so we could be out scouting that big Gobbler instead of shoveling snow. For me with the numerous knee surgeries the past year it will be a great spring, since I am now into rehab and hopefully I’ll be ready come Turkey season, for all the rest of you, good luck and have fun chasing big Tom.
