Hard to beat the Cadillac Michigan area. Surrounded by state and federal land. In rifle zone. 2 large lakes at your disposal. Had a great Uncle the lived across the street from the Manistee National Forest up there. When I was a kid his house would be packed to the rafters with family members during rifle season. People and kids sleeping on couches the floor haha. Also Cadillac has decent medical care if you need it and shopping if you need to go to town. Lots of fond memories up there.

While the tip of the thumb has a lot of deer it won't meet your criteria. Other than one state game area the rest of it is expensive private land. Plus the added bonus of frekin windmill farms. Good luck securing access to private property.
