Just a couple days away. Heading to camp. Anyone in northern Mi. is always welcome at camp. We are about 10 miles north of Curran Mi. Where are you all hunting.

EUP. Worked my ass off this year to get set-up 1.2 miles off the road on foot, water and all, and the biggest deer I have on cam is a 6-point. Not happy. Might even turn in my vacation time. My oldest daughter will be five next year, youngest with be 3 1/2, so I'll be able to go out of state once again...Thank God!

Property in between White Cloud and Big Rapids. NO acorns this year. Baiters will have there way totally.

Highlands overlooking the Manistee River near Manistee. We've been taking some great deer ever since the state passed antler point restrictions. No acorns around here either.
I was watching the bucks chase the does on Friday and get into their pushing matches for dominance. Much slower today, so I'd guess the peak of the rut has passed.

Near Copemish, few acorns, but the food plots look good, some nice ones on cam, hoping to meet one on Wednesday. Good luck to all.

Just a small plot between Holland and Grand Rapids. It always has deer moving through like clockwork, but rarely a older buck. Real comfy raised blind though...
Leaving for the IL gun opener Thursday.. so might just sit Wednesday AM.

I'm headed to the Mio area tomorrow morning. We have hunted the Huron National Forest for the last 28 years. We'll be in camp through Monday of next week.

Hope you all do well and enjoy. I will take a moment to reflect on good hunts in Oceana County years ago.

Across the road from our home here in Clare County. Lots of deer so far on trail cams plus a few bear. The wife and I have permanent blinds on a good 80 acres. I went out and just watched a couple of days ago and saw a big eight point chasing a doe and another hot doe just standing around.
It's supposed to rain opening day... fine with me. I carry the gun to the blind in a case and, when inside, light the heater... cozy and comfy. The rain will keep the city hunters in the bars and restaurants.

I'm a city hunter and I'll be in a tree stand regardless of the weather. I'm sure the crummy weather will keep country folks out of the woods as well for those that don't hunt box blinds with heat. Good luck and enjoy your hunt.
