My point still stands Don.

In response to DonH. Sharing the road with bicyclists was fine with me on the weekends during my full time residency on the island. The problems that arises,is that when you are a full time resident, you have to go to work. One of my biggest problems with tourists in the summer is that they seemed t...

Well said Frank.

It's very sad when people on such a small island can't get along and work together for the good of everyone. Have a nice day everyone :D The real shame is that, working together for the good of everyone is exactly what the Racines were aiming to do. Now 'representatives' of Michigan have their inep...

Very cool,my favorite film of the year.

Just out of curiousity, since you guys are embarking on quite the endeavour. Aside from experience,hunting and fishing, do you have any credentials or schooling in wildlife management?

Hey! A legitimate, responsible conversation about conservation.Well from half of the "sources" in the article.

Yeah good point Gavin,I was curious to see if this ban would affect food plotting.I'm suprised more hunters on the island with a decent piece of property don't actually plant. That,more than anything would start producing quality deer.

If you choose to legally hunt coyotes in the aims to stop disease from population problems, than feel free to do so.

Why not? Because look at the terminal on BI. Compare it to the one already in Charlevoix. I have never seen "standing room only" in the Charlevoix terminal, I have in the BI terminal. With the second air service to BI, Fresh Air Aviation, we need a larger terminal. Not a restaurant or bow...

Maybe should have let that year and a half old doe breed another year due to all of the predation.Just sayin'. QDM at it's finest.

A lot of good discussion about Charlevoix's plans for a new terminal that will obviously increase costs for everyone. No one has mentioned that the same plans (new terminal etc) is in the works for the Beaver Island airport. The Beacon had published information several months ago and it did not pro...

I wonder what got the wheels rolling on that discussion. I find it hard to believe that the traffic through that terminal would neccesitate additions.

Usually in the spring you can go out around "sucker point" and see them spawning.I used to go Carp fishing when I was a kid in Illinois/Indiana,it's a blast. Although they don't feed while they're spawning.Pretty cool thing to see.

That's a really neat story,I've never heard of fly fishing for carp.
