I haven't. But I have the same hankering you do. I love Northern Michigan, deer or not. It gives us unlimited land to wander rather than signs and fences every 40 acres. Good luck and have fun!

I Hunt the NE part of the State every Year - still pretty wild in a lot of areas. Could have Bears in Camp and it's Elk Country - Gods Country for sure ! Bob

Where are you at Lee? I live in the central lower portion and EHD wiped us out 3 summers ago. Its getting better now after a few fawning seasons.

Deer herd is in good condition. I'm really covered up with Turkeys - they're everywhere ! I prefer to Hunt the NE part of the State tho - been going to a spot for many years. Love it up there. Keepin' My fingers crossed tho - I applied for a Bow Hunt on the Shiawasse State Game area permit - will know on the 20th if I got picked. Bob
