What you give up is hunting for ruffed grouse within a short drive. Small price to pay for all of the other benefits.[/QUOTE]
Not if your a Grouse hunter

I'd be hard pressed to give up all Michigan has to offer even winter as you can always travel down south and hunt Quail or go west for Quail and other birds. The Carolina's or any other southern state or in the Southwest shuch as AZ, NM,TX in the summer no way
