Trad Hunters Magazine - Volume 3: The Great Lakes (Single Issue)

Bucks, Blizzards, and Blood Trails

Welcome to the north country, where wool gets wet, snow falls early, and deer tracks vanish under flurries before noon.

In Vo.3 The Great Lakes , we ride old logging roads into the cutover, paddle foggy lakes before light, and sit quiet as lake-effect snow piles up on our bows. This is a land of dense forests, woodstoves, and traditions older than the state lines.

From Michigan’s UP to northern Wisconsin and across Minnesota’s pine country, we chase bucks the hard way — on foot, in snow, through country that doesn’t forgive mistakes.

This isn’t a sport. It’s a way of life.
