I use ta live in da U.P. Da darn bears are everywhere and you'll run into them whenever you don't want to. And you'll always have yer swampers on so you can't run too fast.

I had one dat lived near me, he was one-a dem black bears but his face was all white. Sometimes you'd see him runnin' through da woods like a floating ghost-mask in da night. It was downright creepy, and always made me reach for anudder Old Milwaukee to wash down my pastie.

People to always stand behind when hunting:

1. Dick Cheney
2. Jaime Villa

It’s Better to hunt with Cheney than riding with Kennedy

Hunting by the Braille system... Credit where credit is due... That is more than I would want to do.

The blind can, and do, hunt in Michigan.

They are required to have a fully sighted person with them.

Most times they hunt with a laser sighted rifle that shows up as a red dot on the target that the sighted helper can see. The sighted person tells them when they are on target, and when to shoot.

There is no danger to anyone.
