2008 Michigan firearm season findings, Nov 15th thru 30th.
I carried my Remington 700ML 54cal the whole season.

Adverage 6:00 am temp was 28.8F. Highest was opening day at 41F, rain all day.Sunday the 16th rain half the day then 4 inches of snow and a total for the season was 9 inches.
Lowest temp was a tie the 21st @ 19F and the 23d.

Adverage Number of deer sighted was 9 a day. Highest was a tie, 22 on the 21st and the 26th.
Lowest was zero on the 28th. Dog house # 2 blind this year isn't so good. I feel it is the dogs have ran the deer out of that area since I saw dogs every time I sat in that blind.
Best blind is the PVC pipe blind sitting in a old fence row next to a woods and a over grown field. Second best is Dog house #1 sitting on a ridge over looking the creek and low lands.

Seen 4 antlered bucks, a spike, 2 four points and a very nice one for an instant. Hope to see him again during ML season.

I haven't compiled the data for the ML season Dec. 5th to the 21st. yet that ended yesterday a half hour after sun set.

At least you see deer. If I see deer, I am happy. Sitting out in the woods and seeing the squirrels play was not my idea of deer season. Good luck to you.

A season with out seeing a deer.
Been there done that, got a hat, tee shirt and jacket.
Can't remember off the top of my head what year it was. I could look it up as I have kept a journal since the mid 80's.
I did see 3 on my way home running across a wheat field and two getting hit by the cars ahead of me.
I had a job back then so didn't get to hunt as much as I would have liked.
