I enjoyed your post Dean.....As a kid and young person I never had to drive to go hunting. We walked out the back door or couple miles at most to do all our hunting. In 1965 I was 10, hunted with a home made sling shot and killed way too many birds with it. I lived on a dead end road with overgrown farms, new homes started to pop up and new developments too. We had wild quail and roosters too, I would see them getting gravel on our road edge. I remember in 1966 they brought in the big dozers and pans and ended all of that...)-: They built the southern park mall and the quail were gone forever. Now you cannot shoot a gun in that township! It all SUCKS.....Now to do any wild bird hunting it requires long drives, motels and week long stays. These are not the good old days but good hunting does happen from time to time and there are some bright spots. I am thankful for that. Wisconsin grouse counts are up they say. I hope you get to go Brett....(-: I head to the U.P. on the 19th.....SXS Ohio
