Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Michigan Hunters, how did you do?

I agree with pretty much everything you said, Dooger. I'd say we are basically returning to the 70's at this point. And my 6-point from last year was indeed a 3 1/2 year old buck.

Predation from all sources is a bigger factor than it was 25 years ago, but certainly not the whole problem. I won't lay it all on the wolves either...but I have yet to see a wolf protectively escorting a deer to the safety of the food pile.

One sad fact is that there are fewer people around that care about deer numbers and quality deer hunting than there used to be, and that cannot bode well for the future of the sport.
