Any one in Michigan killing any cats? Just curious how everyone is doing with such bad conditions so far.

only been out a few times because of conditions. Had a couple opportunities but the shooter didn't get the deed done.
Had a first for me this last weekend. We had a little bear come be bopping out of the swamp while we where chasing a cat around.
Haven't went to UP yet.
I got some walker pups if you know anyone looking for big game hound. They will be perfect age for this up coming bear season.
Good hunting to ya,
Big Bite

We took a nice 40# Tom in wexford county on Saturday. Dogs caught him twice on the ground but couldn't hold him. He finally decided he didn't like those young blueticks pouring the smoke to his sorry butt, so he treed in the biggest white pine in the swamp!
