My Deer camp has a Rapid River address and is about 21 miles east of Escanaba. there is a lot of State and Federal land that doesn't see a lot of hunters per season in the area. Be aware that a couple of winters have put a big hurt on the deer population. It at one time was normal to see about 6 deer a day now it isn't unnormal to not see a deer in 6 days. Also keep in mind that the local population do bait deer in and the season has been going for 8 days by thanks giving.


You may want to research the area closer to Menominee Mich. many farms there and a bit more south so the deer will be better fed during deep snows off farm crops. Also avoid the wolf release areas. Friends near Michagamei has not seen a deer in 4 years or a track either on his property near a wolf release area.
