According to the guide, his property backs up to that game refuge you are talking about. I live in Michigan (middle of the mitten) and the hunt is from Oct 29th to Nov 4th. We have a fair ammount of deer here but they run small. A deer that dresses out over 100 pounds is a fairly good size deer. So far my best is a 8 pt that scores probably mid 120's. But for around here thats a decent buck!
