The UP weather can be a real mess. I am sure much worse than E. Ky.
Also the deer are being systematically killed of in MI with the UP herd
down for a while now.
Just my 2 cents.
Let me clarify, the UP herd is WAAAAAAAAY down for a long time & not going to come back much in the foreseeable future.
Don't know anything about EK, but MI UP is bad.
