Back to where it all started for me 36yrs ago. Deep in a cedar swamp 20ft in a tree. Feels good to be home!!

Not that far North
I'm heading back up in the next week or so. When is the gun season up there ?
Nov 15th is gun opener and runs through end of the month.
Glad to be a Michigander when deer season rolls around. Everyone wants to go to Ohio,Iowa, Illinois...etc to chase big bucks. But we can still produce 120" deer. Know of a couple near me already harvested this year. And the deer per mile ratio is far greater than most other states. I believe we are in the top 5 if I remember correctly. There is no where else I'd rather chase whitetails!
I am in the Baldwin area. Lots of public ground and many hunters practicing APRs even if they're not in one of the mandated counties.
Everytime you Michigan fellers take about home I get homesick.
Born raised in Wyandotte, summers in onaway , cheboygan, travers city ( my favorite) mackinaw.etc
Best of luck to you all this deer season.
Hunted the Baldwin/Bitely area for more than 15 years with my brothers. Happy times - great memories for sure...

Seeing deer, but no shot opportunities yet....

Its like Christmas... with bows!
There's no better season than hunting season in Northern Michigan!!!! Second year without my Dad, miss him dearly, and am glad he took the time to fuel my bow hunting fire.
Just something about it.... Will forever be my roots even though I've been to IL & IA.

About 35 miles north of ya in Wexford county, on the Manistee river.
Hunted near Baldwin for years back in the '90s. Killed my first deer ever there after trying for a few seasons. Love it up there, also Free Soil, Manistee, Irons, Luther and Chase to name a few places I've enjoyed hunting over the years.

I grew up fishing the tribs of the Big Man up in that area. Beautiful country!!
