by Shooting Sportsman Magazine

Although Michigan rates very highly as a bird hunting destination, the state offers very few options in the way of upscale wingshooting lodges. Perhaps the best one is Meemo’s Farm, which offers guests not only a wide variety of hunting options, but also the same level of high-quality lodging, dining, and amenities (such as their world-class 13-station clay shooting course) that are the hallmarks of America’s finest wingshooting establishments. Here are a few things worth knowing about this Midwestern wingshooting gem . . . .
