This past weekend was nothing other than exceptional! I was able to get together with trackers from around the state of Michigan and do some awesome training. Training together brings out new ideas, different outlooks to situations, input from more experienced trackers, and comradary. It builds us as a team, and builds the tracking community!

ONE BUCK TAG....YAY OR NAY!?

As of recent, social media is blowing up with a multitude of opinions regarding whether Michigan should go to a 1 buck tag rule or not. There are several ways in which a hunter can look at this.

I'm neither for or against the change, I can see both sides. I've harvested on 2 occasions in my 25 years of hunting 2 bucks. Not everyone has the opportunity, but we do have the opportunity to choose what buck we kill if we have 1 tag.

For the NW counties who have been participating in the 3pt APR for many of years, we are used to passing the small bucks and I don't see a dramatic change. For others in the state, this is a big change requiring them to pass the spikes and 4 pointers they may shoot first and hunt for a bigger buck the rest of the season.

What's your take? Is it an over reach to tell people what they can harvest? We have size limits for many of fish in the state is this the same? Legitimate conversations welcome!

Recently, Willow and I had the privilege of being invited to speak at the Cheboygan County 4-H K9 kennel club weekly meet up. It was truly an honor to be invited and speak to these young amazing kids.

We covered everything from what a tracking dog is, how they track, what they track, what essentials we carry with us, the training process, and scenting conditions. I set up an interactive station for the to inspect deer hair and decided where they thought it came from on the deer using the hair cards. We inspected arrows and the signs left behind to determine where the deer may have been hit. They asked many of great questions and at the end of the night, we had a mock track. Although there was to much snow to lay a real practice line outside, we made due by laying a line indoors. Willow was very confused at how that deer made it in the school with her without her knowing, but in true fashion she followed it out and showed the kids where the deer hide had been hidden!

It was absolutely a great time and a lot of fun to educate these young minds on what it is we do. Thanks to all who participated and made it such a great evening!

Recently while shed hunting, I came across this jaw bone. I've done a little searching on the internet, what is your guess as to what it belonged too?

There were virtually no other bones around the area, so I wasn't able to identify the true size of what it could be.
