I understand your dilema, I have hunted in Mich. for about forty years. Most of our bucks are not the size you see of Wisc. or Ill. bucks. Someone mentioned the Sancutary, I think this is a deer farm (no license required) and probably the easiest way to take trophy antlers. There is a lot of land in the U.P. (CFA land) i's just you have to put in the time and there are good bucks. Lower Mich. actually has bucks the size of Wisc and Ill. but much of that land is private, leased or owned by horseman. I have tried for many years looking at Christmas tree growers in Northern Mich., orchard owners and growers and smaller truck farmers and have in some cases been succesful. Looking for that massive buck took me to Wisc. on a bowhunt earlier this year, quite a disaster for the price. There are many outfitters that will provide the land on a do-it yourself basis, you still pay but it is less expensive than a full guided hunt (research).
