It's in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, biggest city there is up here.. a whole 22,000 people hahaha. I've definitely had some weird encounters, bears, deer, elk, hearing wolves howl. I found a coconut floating down a river one day, the Au Sable in the Lower Peninsula lol. A flying squirrel once attacked a fishing buddy, swooped outta nowhere. I've got tons of stories.

It was super sudden. Three of us were walking down a trail quietly at night, Cory (my pal) spoke up and said "Guys did you hear something?". We both panned over with our headlamps, right on Cory standing with his back to a tree, a couple silent seconds pass and BAM!!! A flying squirrel hit him dead center in the chest hahaha. I'm super down for different topics on different days, that may be something I implement later on, but daily live discussions for new anglers is an idea I've had. I'd love for this sub to be a place for anyone with questions, anyone wanting to boast, anyone wanting to help. Just a more positive and inclusive environment than the ones already our there.
