Teddy,
I own land sw of Colwater, MI about 5 miles north of the indiana border.
MI is great for deer, small game and fishing. But for big game(elk, moose, bear), Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming are all great places. Most avid big game hunters I've met here(OR) and in Washington, go to those three states to fill a tag. I have only traveled through, but wouldn't mind living in Big Sky country. I have been looking at hunting in Idaho next year, all depends on what I have going on. But one thing is for sure, I will be in MI Nov. 15!!!!
