As a forty-year old man living in the suburbs of a Midwestern city, it is now required that I begin caring about my lawn and purchase a porch goose for my wife to dress up (I know, big yikes, but who are we to fight the arrow of time?). As the reddit platform ages, naturally more will find these topics important, so please share all your best lawn planting and porch goose dressing tips in the comments. Peace out.

I did my hunter safety class and have been using OnX and DNR maps, but I’m still trying to figure out actually finding a spot.

For HAP land, can I bring a small ground blind/pop-up or do I need permission from the landowner first?

For public land like Ortonville, how do you know you’re not setting up too close to another hunter? Do you just look for vehicles/lights and have backup spots ready?

Also, what are you guys looking for on OnX when picking places to scout? And how far from parking/trails would you recommend going?

Not looking for anyone’s spots, just trying to learn and do it the right way my first year.

January 6er running in Michigan house race

Using my homemade water wagon to irrigate one of my freshly planted food plots. We’ve had some nice rain these last few days but we all know the weather here is a crapshoot, and id rather have this and not need it, than the other way around!

Berrien County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) deputies said they rescued a 7-year-old boy from South Bend, Ind., who went missing in the water while swimming at Silver Beach County Park Monday before 9 p.m., but despite efforts to save his life at the hospital, he died later Monday night.

First responders and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the initial call and found him near shore at 10:08 p.m., about an hour after he went missing. Deputies said he died at the hospital Monday at 11:15 p.m.

I am on the board for the non-profit Michigan Association of Railroad Passengers, and with approval from the moderators of the sub, I wanted to reach out to you all and see if who would be interested in taking a leadership role to expand passenger rail in Michigan.

There are openings on our executive board (and of course always in our membership!), and we are taking applications for the next few weeks for anyone who wants to help. Whether you have a ton of experience in advocacy or would like to take an active part in Michigan’s passenger rail, we’d love to hear from you!

MARP’s 12-member Executive Committee is the budgetary, planning and policy recommending body for the organization. We meets monthly, usually online. Members are elected to 2-year terms at the Annual Meeting of the membership which will be held this year on Saturday, October 24, at Durand Union Station.

If you want to help shape the future of passenger trains in our state and are interested in a seat on the Executive Council, please comment here or DM me
