Hunting in BenzieNo luck deer hunting this year, Bob has been hunting the same buck since opening day. He has seen this big buck twice but could not get a clear shot at him. Chasing that big buck every day has been a challenge and it’s wearing him out, he is looking a little rough lately. There is a lot of areas you can hunt here in Benzie County, take a look at this DNR map of Lands open for public hunting. Although we were fairly busy during this years deer hunting season, many of our hunters came away empty handed. Everyone blames this past harsh winter and the “no feeding/no baiting” law.
Keep the fire burning this winterThere is plenty to prepare for the winter season in Northern Michigan. Having enough firewood for the fireplace is a priority, there is nothing like a cozy fire on a cold winters day. Last year was exceptionally cold and snowy, we ran out of firewood before the season was over. This year we have plenty of wood, the guys have been splitting and stockpiling it all summer. Now that the yard is clean and the building is all buttoned up, we await our first winter storm of the season.
Guaranteed that snow will be here soon
And once it has arrived, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are some of the snow sports outdoor lovers pursue in this area. There is no better place to xc ski and snowshoe than the Sleeping Bear Dunes, check out the National Park trails Sleeping Bear Dunes Trails. There are plenty of hiking trails and paths near by for all ability levels, take a look at the maps and details in this Trail-log .
To kick things off with a bang this winter season!
We will have snowshoes available for our guests!
