Click here its easy! http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=423005&goto=newpost Sat, 19 May 2012 00:55:57 GMT Hi everyone

I'm new to the sportsman forums but I am active on ar15.com's Michigan section and migunowners.org. I wanted to share this important information with the hunting community about eliminating the permit to purchase handguns (and long guns <30" in overall length) system.

HB 5225 is in the Judiciary committee in the House. This bill would end the purchase permit system in Michigan. It is endorsed by the NRA and they are actively lobbying for it. The vote is on 5/24/2012 at 10am.

Click here for NRA's opinion on the bill
http://www.nraila.org/legislation/st...next-week.aspx


This bill if amended and passed would ELIMINATE permits to purchase a pistol with destruction of past records.



How can you help?

Click below to send a message of support to the Judiciary committee which will be voting on the bill on 5/24/2012 at 10am.

It was a Vizio 42" HD plasma and I was completely happy with the picture quality all along. But we went out yesterday and picked up a Toshiba 46" LED 1080p set. I brought it home, mounted it on the wall, and then hooked it up. I'm amazed at the difference!

High-def channels look much better than they did with the 1080i plasma. I just hooked up the Blu-ray player and popped in a DVD. For a test, I watched a regular DVD and couldn't believe the difference in the picture. The detail and clarity is amazing. Then I popped in the Blu-ray disc of the latest Star Trek movie. It's freakin' AMAZING! The subtle shadows and absolute detail is incredible. In some scenes, it looks like you're looking through a window at actual live action. ]]> Sound Off (MichiganForums.com) jpollman http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=422999 nu bee http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=422996&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 23:26:36 GMT just found this site and it looks really kewl to me i live just outside of trufant and love to hunt and fish i have three beagles who are great... just found this site and it looks really kewl to me i live just outside of trufant and love to hunt and fish i have three beagles who are great rabbit and bird dogs, diamond smokey and shiloh. they love burning up the brush i spent most my time outdoors i have a lot of state land near me so i get do do a lot of hunting i live on a chain of lakes and get to do a lot of fishing too. aside from that i play guitar. and go camping all over MI. maybe i'll see some of you around. this site is great so far from what i can see. ]]> Introductions dustyd13 http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=422996 Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore area http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=422994&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 22:51:19 GMT I'm headed up to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore area in early August. I'm a fly fisherman (I'll release everything I catch), and I'm interested in going after anything that swims, pike, yellow perch, smallmouth etc, though my number 1 interest is in the brookies. I understand that I can't ask about specific streams or lakes, so I will speak in generalities. What types of species should I be targeting, and overall, do you think it will be worthwhile? I know with the drought occurring in that area, August isn't exactly prime time, but I'd be more more than happy to go after the warm water species that are supposed to be some of the lakes if the trout streams are too warm.

I'll probably have a kayak on hand, but nothing more heavy duty than that. So I'll be pretty much restricted to fishing the inland lakes and streams. I might toss a line in Superior just for the heck of it, but I imagine that will be an exercise in futility...
