couldn't hunt on Sundays there.

Pretty sure this is still the case on public land in Pennsylvania

Make a roux

For working I like my Carhartt insulated ones. The brown outside and red pillowy insulation on the inside.

Get some Bourgeois market sausage and other goodies on your way home.

They have a turkey “cheese” like hog’s head that is pretty interesting.

Wustöf in the kitchen.

Hunting:
Benchmade Steep Country Hunter fixed blade. I like that the handle is rubber that grips despite blood on my hands. Holds and edge very well. It is my only Benchmade though, I’m sure most their knives are excellent.

Yes, had it on pizza. Second this

For real. They want to be ignorant and reckless fine; but they pay the bill.

Hopefully there will not be more dipshits “braving” the conditions to hunt and getting stranded; needing LDWF to rescue them.

Getting ready to take 5.5 year old Sparty Jr on a squirrel “hunt” on public. Snacks snd show him a few tracks. Hopefully a special squirrel will be out and about. LOL

I considered buying the mudder boots that open up like bat wings to disperse your weight. But I am not convinced they would work out there....

Public land has been getting so crowded

Find a way to hike into the mud at Joyce or Maurepas. Maybe a helicopter.

It does not always matter. One time on public a dude walked up to the tree I was in about an hour after daylight. Told me he lost his flagging and then proceeded to sit in some bushes 50 yds away. ??

I get it’s public…. But c’mon

Northern Michigan.
Traverse City area or anywhere from Tawas to to Mackinaw City on the other side.

When I was in a lease we used a battery powered sawzall.

Public land hunting I pack out the meat. Use a folding Milwaukee hand saw with the metal sawzall blade. So it’s about the size of a redbull can folded up. Use this for cutting feet off, cutting through the sternum, neck roast ect. Found the saws made for this have the bigger teeth and are a PIA compared to the metal blade.

Cost of land and hunting in general is the biggest problem.

In the south unless the land is swamp that is unusable and not good duck hunting either you are going to have to spend a few hundred K$ on a piece of property big enough to kill a couple deer every year. A briar patch with Chinese tallow is 5-10,000$ an acre and will take 40 or more acres to be worth it….

A lease plus feed, gas, ect is going to be 4000$ a year or more for a poor to average spot. It’s a wealthy man’s game or going broke game….
