Other issues heading for the 2014 ballot include abortion funding, hydraulic fracturing or “fracking,” and changes to Michigan’s ballot qualification process.

For Many Deer Hunters It’s All About Da’ Bone
DECATUR, AL-The most sought after big game animal in North America is the whitetail deer…more specifically a big mature buck with a lot of “bone” on his head. And most hunters pursue those monster bucks with the aid of a grunt call.
Knight and Hale has now created Da’ Bone: a realistic sounding grunt call that looks like an antler. Da’ Bone is an exhale only call that produces deep tones of a mature whitetail buck with a lot of volume to reach great distances and can be heard in windy conditions.
This call is made of soft, pliable material that eliminates unwanted noise in the stand from contact with a metal object.
