And I believe you can use a centerfire rifle without the deer season restrictions on the cartridge from Dec. 1--Nov.9 in the "shotgun zone". Huh?

If I were moving to MI I’d probably pick the west side of the state between grand haven and traverse city and west of 75. Big area but beautiful and more conservative then the east side of the state. Tons of hunting opportunities all over the state with some places better than others. All the fishing you can handle. Mac is correct, except that I'd note that if you prefer Walleye fishing, the East side is where it's at in Michigan! Moved from Muskegon County a year ago to Florida.....Politically it's becoming a real schitthole state especially with the ever-growing Muslim contingent near Dearborn.

From a Southerners perspective, Michigan is o.k.! I lived there in the late 80s/early 90s, while in high school. I had a blast and made a lot of friends. It is a great state for a sportsman. Winter’s severity isn’t as tough at how long it lasts. Don’t expect spring to hit in April. It might.....and it might not.

In the shot gun zone,the only time the cartridge is restricted is during deer season and the few days before.The rest of the year you can use a centerfire rifle just like the rest of the state.

Traverse county is full of libs, and the freakishness is spreading up from the Indiana border and down from TC. Here are the voting maps for both the senate and governor races, and plainly show where the problems lie.

Whatever the current status of the state is right now, it just got worse by an order of magnitude with the election of another liberal DemonRat governor.
Taxes are bound to rise & even more freebies will be handed out.
The above maps are accurate...................

I plan to use my 45/70 Marlin Lever Action this year for deer despite being in the Limited Firearms Zone. I have shortened the brass accordingly so I will be able to legally use it. I worked up a good load with the Hornday 325 FTX bullet.

With weed on the ballot, I'm surprised more counties did not go dem.

There are two Michigans. The urban and the rural--different worlds. Stay away from the cities/universities and you will do fine.
The new democratic administration will be a solid kick in the nuts, though.

Personally I would probably move to saline area in Washtenaw county, but that's me.
Yep, that's where I live - 4.23 square miles surrounded by reality. If you're a liberal you'll fit right in. Wednesday evening we had our own little group of ANTIFA demonstrating in front of the Jr High School with their "Not my President" and Protect Mueller" signs - wish I had a couple strips of firecrackers that I could have tossed out the window.

Thank you that’s the truth. I live in GR area and have to agree that the west is the best by a healthy margin particularly if you’re looking for a nice conservative place where you can hunt and fish your head off. Decent sportsman’s clubs lots of public land. Eaton Rapids is a nice little town and I wouldn’t complain. Great hunting for deer and small game in that area.

I've found that our new town is solidly conservative. Well, except for the neighbor across the street.

Go anywhere north of Grayling.
I spent a year visiting numerous towns all across Northern Michigan looking for a spot to live. By visiting, I am talking about Chambers, schools, LE, hospitals and other agencies. If you really enjoy awesome big game hunting, fishing (both stream and lake), atv trail riding, snowmobiling,waterfowl, upland game, ..send me a PM. Also, Trump won these areas by 20-30 points. My town is about 13K. One murder in last 15 years. Very safe and very affordable. The area has millions of acres of public land.
Again, send me a PM and I can give you a solid report on anything north of Grayling. It’s an awesome place to go if you like getting out of the house. I love it.
