msufan, he was uncorked alright, we had ta uncork some of the good old stuff ta settle him down.......lol

49er,

Only looking to bow hunt around here.  Don't gun hunt much if at all anymore in MI because of all the crazy idiots.  Been shot at on private land behind my parents house so I know how you and your wife felt.  I would really appreciate it if you could show me a few areas but would not want to intrude on your honey holes I know how hard a good honey hole is to find.  Also don't mind hiking in a bit I have a game cart to drag em out on haha.

Go Green! Go to the DNR Website, and lookup Commercial Forest Lands (CFL) and Hunter Access Program (HAP) Land maps... I've found quite a few nice chunks that not a lot of people know about on there... Good luck this season, and with the land search!

jb,

Thanks for the info been looking at a few things on the DNR site for public land but have not checked out CFL land maps yet. Go Green! although not looking to good so far tonight.

whack n stack,
sent you a private message on here a few days ago let me know if you got it.

No problem!  State land any where in the lower half of the mitt can get a little crowded...and fuel costs dont help either, but its helped me get a good line on some land that holds deer, adjacent to state, high pressure, and private lands.      I got sick of hearing "no", and getting "anti" garbage yelled at me....

over the yrs. i missed a few nice bucks on local state land. my biggest -- even thou it was a doe -- in weight, came out of fort custer. dressed out at 205lbs.

I am thinking it is going to be a bit quieter for all the seasons this year again because of the gass prices, and the level of enenjoyed people who are not recieving unemjoyment compensation.  I have a feeling the farther north one lives the quieter it will be. I know last year we did not have near the hunters for either of the seasons up my way that we usually have.

Good luck and be safe out there this season gang!!

being new here i'm a lil late on posting but you might also want to buy a plot book of your area

Shot a nice 8 point on public land near my house on 26 Oct.  My best buck kill so far, bow or gun.  Has anyone else had any luck? This warm weather is really shutting down the deer movement.

nice going msufan and congrats on the big buck

Congrats msufan!

Hey everyone, thought I would get this thread a little new life.  still looking for someone that would like to hunt with me on public land around the Alma area.  Also take a look at one of the bucks have have got a pic of on public land.  anyone else have a pic they would like to share?

Here is one more public land buck pic.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

You're risking your camera having it on public land.

Hockeydna,

I know, but have a cable lock on it and move it every few days and put in in "off the beaten path" places.  Plus I only hunt on public land and just had to know what was there and if they were moving by the trees I plan to hunt. Just hope people aren't working through the woods with a bolt cutter

i might have to go north a bit to be able to hunt deer this year. we are finding died deer all over the place around here in the southwest corner to the southcenteral. do to this edh thing
