It seems the biggest loss for hunting concerns predation for me . Even areas that i use to have success on the level of coyotes there has skyrocketed . Permission /access for deer is tough in Michigan with small game hunting being the best way ive found to get a foot in the door . Damn yotes are eating up everything !!! This pushes you on down the road for Alot of fruitless door knocking . Bird or bunny access is a great way to scout to see if its even worth to ask one day for deer . We got a BIG YOTE PROBLEM in Southern Michigan !!!
One of my oldest spots has evolved into my private range shooting down a farm lane backed by thick woods tho and thats just about priceless !!! 683 yds is Nice !!! Now i gotta complete a sml for it too . I would usually only use it for effective velocity/energy shooting with my smokers . Sure is nice to shoot cardboard silhoettes to make max range determinations real quick when its For Real !!! My scopes got dope but thats a good way to lose the opportunity during the rut . So is that power ring if your not carefull . Even a rangefinder can take too much time during the rut . Been burnt by all 3 . I like hunting travel routes and Virtually None stand around to pose for long !!! A good reticle combined with practiced practical knowledge is tough to beat in the field !!!. Save the rest for paper !!!
Figured id add an idea for you guys so not all is lost when ya gotta move on due to predators when landowner relations have been wonderfull .
