Was talking over the weekend with another MI hunter on here and we both agreed that it would be cool if we could get the MI hunters together on here and all pitch in a little bit of $$$ and try to get Dan to set up a workshop here. Would give us a chance to have a meet & greet and learn a few things.

Possibly find a section of "neutral" state game area where no one on here is hunting so we're not stepping on anybody's feet that has both hill country and Marsh terrain to scout.

I have learned alot from Dan's videos as well as many of the members on here..but imo the type of terrain and pressure that us MI hunters face each season is like no other state and I think it would be very beneficial to have a workshop here if Dan was willing.

Any opinions?

If Dan was willing I think it would be great, but I think it would be best for next spring...if that wouldnt work out for Dan we could get a group together and head to Wisconsin for the workshop, I was planning on heading out there for a workshop anyways.

Sounds like a neat idea. I'm also up for bringing Dan to Mi next winter/spring if we can talk him into it.

Ok so a workshop for next year winter/spring is great idea and I have a good feeling dan would love to do this. We need to start getting dates for this meet and greet currently. August? Like the 29th? 11am? We need to pick a place.

we could promet it and make it worth dans wile to come theres a lot of gun shows and outdoors shows who we can pass flyers around in each of our corners of michigan where we all live in could get michigan out doors too may be do a show on it, but that would be up too Dan if he wanted to go that way with it.

Meeting at a state or county park would be a good thing. Plenty of room, use the gazebos if it's raining and we could get the grills going.
Lansing area seems to be a good middle point.
Thoughts?
