He plans on still doing content and some guest co-hosting in the upcoming weeks and months and encourages anyone to follow along on social media to see the direction he ends up going.   It's fitting that for the farewell episode Nate has the opportunity to record once again with Robert McIntyre after a successful late season hunt. Nate and Rob decided to go on a bow hunt together down to Illinois on some public land.

    The Last 7 Days Wk9: More Tags Punched

    On this final episode of season 3 of Michigan Wild's The Last 7 Days, Nate does a quick recap on his final week of hunting in Michigan. On Thanksgiving evening Nate was able to punch 2 more doe tags and continue working on closing the gap on buck to doe ratios. It was a picture perfect evening hunt with snow on the ground and deer piling into his food plots. Couldn't ask for a better late November hunt.  Looking ahead for the rest of the year Nate touches on his plans to head down to Illinois for an extended weekend hunt with his buddy Rob. The goal is to learn another area he has never hunted and try and find the best food sources to key on the bed to food pattern. Season is coming to an end and he appreciates all the support for The Last 7 Days.  Thank you for listening to the episode!
