We have had one of the strangest springs in recent memory. Between the COVID-19 outbreak and the odd weather it has made it tough to get out and hunt. Initially, during Michigan’s shutdown order, residents were barred from traveling to a second home. The order lightened up around the end of April and many hunters hit the woods to chase after spring turkeys.<\/p>\n
Once people got out to the woods they found a couple of things to be different this season.

While certainly good for the sport this increased pressure did lead to some early frustration.<\/p>\n
