You are not limited to paths. You can quietly comb the shoreline in a smaller boat until you have a sighting. Then you can hide the houseboat around the corner and hunt just a few hundred yards from your warm and cozy floating lodge.
This year we have only been issued one non-resident Bull Moose rifle tag and unlimited calf tags. With six month's notice or more, we can sometimes convert the rifle tag into two archery tags. That's up to the MNR. Hunts take place in WMU 4. Residents with their own tags are welcome to rent our houseboats for their hunt.
