Avoid contact with other people! That’s not a problem for many of us outdoorsman and women who seek hobbies that offer seclusion, fresh air and of course, social distancing. April is now upon us and it’s finally starting to feel like spring which is a very welcomed season in my opinion and invites many “social distancing” opportunities in Michigan.
Turkey season is closing in with the first seasons opening April 18th. It will be nice to dig out the camo once again and head to the woods, not to mention the benefit of providing a few meals in a time when supermarket shelves are a bit sparse. There’s been some changes to the season dates including the popular “unit ZZ” hunt, so be sure to check out the rules and regulations here: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/Spring_Turkey_Digest_443091_7.pdf
Besides turkeys, the coveted morel mushrooms should be showing up before too long. They also offer a challenging hunt and rewarding table fare. Personally, I’m better at eating them than finding them. So if you have any hotspots, feel free to share.
If nothing else, spring is a great season to just spend some time in the woods and scout for next deer season and if your in the market to purchase hunting property, there’s no better time than now to start looking. As I write this we are currently restricted from showing properties due to the Governor’s order regarding Covid 19, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start doing the homework online and have a list of properties ready to look at when restrictions lift.
However you decide to spend your time during this period of social distancing, I hope you’re able to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. I know I will.
