Where do you in SE Michigan? I grew up in NW Indiana, Michigan City.  I used to fish in New Buffalo, St Joe, all over Southern Michigan.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Detroit area. But I hunt squirrel in Jackson and Washtenaw counties and deer in those counties plus Hillsdale and Ingham counties. I hunt frequently in Hillsdale county, MI in the corner where Ohio and Indiana meet. A couple of years ago when they outlawed smoking in restaurants, I went into Angola for dinner after deer hunting in Hillsdale for my birthday. Last time I got to have a smoke in the restaurant. My dad was originally from Fort Wayne. A lot of times I drive 60 -120 miles for just the day hunting, one way. I see that Washington hunters don't need to drive to far to get out of a  restricted firearm zone to hunt and into a rifle zone. Does your RF zones still get hunted like a pumpkin patch or are they left alone to grow big antlers?

  Since we lost baiting/hound hunting in this state, the WDFW reduced bear tag fees to 5.00 when purchased with deer or elk tags.  The vast majority of these tags are purchased with incidental harvest in mind.

I can see glassing, spotting & stalking, and winter kill stands in the wide open terrains in some parts of the country, but those thick foliage areas need bait & dogs. Bait for the average bear hunter and dogs just because it been done for decades and is an effective strategy in conservation. I guess they are wanting to turn a bear hunter's dog pack (around $20,000) into one of the dogs that you see on the fancy feast cans.

Not for trajectory, but with accuracy comes range. It is a compliment for switch barrel repeater guns. The different types of sabots have different attributes like the lightfields which are hard hitting basically under a 150 yards and the Rem core lokts and sst's the can go to 200 yards and possibly beyond.
