Me too, Eric- we almost had us a dove season in The Great Lake State, but the "antis" prevailed. I go down to Southern Indiana in late Sept. with a hunting pal who grew up in that area-- about every other year. So far, this Sept has been dry and exceptionally warm in Central MI--do see a few doves on area farms I hunt for off-season barn pigeons and the Sept early Goose seasons- sure wish they were a legal game bird here.
Love deer hunting, now I share a blind with a son-in-law (also my Summertime woodchucking partner)-- but don't really care if I ever shoot another white-tail here in MI--Like the late Gene Hill once wrote:"Sometimes you come to discover the great joy of owning a good gun is the greater pleasure that comes from not having to shoot it."
