I gun hunt out of a small camp in northern MI, about 20 miles in land from Lake Superior. We never get many Deer. There are about 13 guys who will come up and bring a gun, but only 5 or so I would say hunt. We cut back on the number of guys last year an it was alot nicer. We hunt state or CFR land, all with in about 5 miles of each other. For the last few years I have been baned from that spot and have to hunt a swamp west of my camp (alot better spot).

As for bow I have a stand me and a cusin share by our rifle camp. I make it up there about 3 times a season. Most of my bow hunting is done about 2 miles from my house. I have a stand there and I do some walking on a creek, it flows threw some great cover and feed areas. I think the land is CFR, and the city might own some of it. I make it outthere as much as I can. I have never counted the days I spend out there.

All in all I hunt areas with few deer and lots of cover, so I may not see many but when I do see one there is a good chance it is a nice buck.

This stuf is fun to read
