I have never been to the lower peninsula so I cannot comment on the whole state but the UP is special - this coming from a native Coloradan. Engineer or geologist? Forester I was close, great school!

Walleye, northerns, perch, trout, salmon, smelt, panfish, giant Lakers at Stannard Rock, something is always on the bite all year 'round. Bird hunting is usually good in different parts of the UP. Gotta scout. Grouse and woodcock mainly. Watch the 10 year cycles. Deer hunting is sketchy. Deer populations plummeted in the successive 95-96 and 96-97 winters and have never recovered. Add in wolves and things haven't been great. Some big ones are still around though. Lots of other stuff to do up there year 'round too. Political climate is good - like minded people. Too bad Detroit has so much influence in Lansing. I heard they were gonna pay Colorado1135 to come there, but he said no. Damn shame. "A Republic, if you can keep it." ~ B. Franklin

People that spend their time in the UP or on the highline are a different breed. Luckily, I married into Houghton-Hancock without even knowing it. Hard folks indeed.
