By Glen Wunderlich
Handgun hunting in Michigan can test the basic hunting skills of even the most seasoned veterans afield.

Does in the Turnips
Adult Doe Alert in Turnips
By Glen Wunderlich
Yesterday evening with temperatures hovering around 60 degrees, deer observation was a delight in Shiawassee County, Michigan. Horton Vision crossbow at the ready and plenty of action below my tree. All deer were antlerless with the exception of one rather frisky 6-point buck, who sucked down a mouthful of turnip leaves almost on the run. Equal time was spent making the females run away from him.
No photos of the yearling buck, but here are a few of the does in the turnip patch.

The hope of supporters is that the release will provide the impetus to develop a thriving population of wild canine carnivores in New Mexico and Arizona.
