Signed up for Medicare yesterday (a sobering experience!) and am finishing-up on the processing of a small deer today. After that I'll be at loose ends again for a while (which is hard for me). Saw a great video on steelheading in Michigan this morning on the Pierre Marquette and it got me to thinking....how is Michigan for ruffed grouse hunting (as compared to, say...Minnesota)? A fellow has to be thinking about where he's going to settle for that last great segment of life, someplace where he can cast his flyrod and carry his scattergun in the beautiful deciduous woods. Now... I think Gretchen Whitmer (and politics in general) in Michigan is pretty abysmal, but as an old codger (mostly retired & just recreating there), what does all that really mean? It looks like Traverse City is the only city of any size in the region, is that a decent place? Minimal crime, good food, & decent doctors? I realize the weather can be pretty crappy in winter but that's what Arizona is for, right?
