I'm in Howell. If you don't know where that's at - about 60 miles or so NW of Detroit, half hour north of Ann Arbor, an hour east of Lansing. I hunt private property here in Livingston County, kind of a cross between urban and farm with lots of woods. Many deer around this year, just not terribley big. Other hunters from the area have been successful in bow, somewhat in gun, but have been complaining about warm temps and not seeing deer since the start of gun. With the temps going back down, I expect it to pick up some this weekend.

I also have property in Harrison (mid-MI). Haven't been up there yet this year, but my dad tells me the deer are thick up there this year, with lots of good bucks. Just need to steal the time to get up there.

I've hunted Gogebic area, Au Train (? - On Lk Sup), and Newberry area. Last I was up there, about 6 years ago, there were more bear than deer.

I wouldn't mind keeping the same teams next year if at all possible (seeing as you guys are carrying me ).
