I also live in Mich. And the past 2 years we have travled out of state to hunt. Missouri both years and this year we are goning again. The have much more quality deer. and I just fund out my brother (a none hunter) is moving to south central Ohio south of Dayton,Greenfield area. So if any one knows the area let me know I will be going down to scout soon. Also on the Michigan thing....I have hunted here all my life, and they have to make some major changes in the laws here to get the quilty deer as the other mid west states[:@] They need to take away the spike law, make it a four points on one side only , and make it so you have to shot a doe before your buck. If they would do any of these or all could you image the hunting here
