Dan was out looking for sheds while cruising the woods Plans on scouting this week Weather needs to warm up soon Birds are moving finally Mike attended a local turkey workshop event Mike talks to CO about youth hunting licenses Game laws differing from state to state Drones and hunting  Mike is taking Deer Steward 1 Class.  Through QDMA and the University of Clemson 6 modules video based teaching Deer and habitat biology, management, etc...  The 2018 Whitetail Report listed what states use to manage deer  Michigan uses deer herd health, hunter opportunity, car deer accidents and crop damage. Seems as if insurance industry issues have a heavy hand in management of our deer instead of sound science. Numbers and questions can be skewed to gain any point of view that researcher wants The nation is shooting less does on a whole First time since 1999 that nation has shot more bucks than does  More dead deer found on Mike's property, looks like they were starving.

Using a trail camera to scout for turkey  Good to use on private land Cuts down the scouting time Help to figure out where to set up Can see specific birds Helps to know what times they frequent the area Snow still on the ground Gobbler came up to the lodge in camp  On the way home from camp came into an area that had a wild fire  Too dry to burn Bone dry conditions Burn bans in affect Spring plants sucking up all the moisture in the ground Too much standing dead wood Logging creates natural fire break Private lands have too much fuel load on the ground in Northern Michigan  Deer are feeding heavily  During green up the mature does are getting the best food Younger deer suffer with less to eat How much milk does a fawn need a day? How does that equate to deer browse?  Turkey populations low due to?  Long winter Cold and wet weather leads to cold ground that keeps turkeys from laying eggs Pushes poults hatching later and not getting enough warm weather to gain enough weight to make it through the next winter Public vs Private land Predation  Tick season!  Mike got the first ticks of the year! Makes you itch for days Don't forget your dogs too  Talking a little trout fishing Spring weather affects so many things in the outdoors
