Michigan's 16 days of madness started yesterday.......I'm so glad that I'm not as into it as I used to be....now a days, I'd rather chase ducks than bucks. I used to have private property to hunt, but the last few years I had it (before my aunt sold it), I spent more time chasing off trespassers than I did hunting, and it's no fun staring down the barrel of a deer rifle!
I used to enjoy our muzzleloading season....back before the proliferation of in-lines. I used to have oodles of state land all to myself during the muzzleloading season; never saw another hunter, even on state land. Now with every Tom, Dick, and Harry shooting an in-line (and thinking that it can kill at 200+ yards), deer season just isn't as important to me as it used to be.
I still go deer hunting from time to time, but it just doesn't have the importance to me that it used to.
