2008 Michigan Muzzle loader season results.
 

2008 Muzzle loader season Dec 5th thru Dec 21st. Lower Michigan
Average 6:00 am temp was 21.6F. Highest was Dec. 15th at 48F with rain. Lowest was Dec 20th at 3F with snow flurries.
We got a total of 12.8 inchs of snow during the season

Average number of deer seen per day was 7. I was not able to hunt complete days for the entire 17 days. T’is the season to Christmas shop ya know. I also took Kares dad to his doctors appointments a couple of snow days.
Most seen in a day was 23 on Dec. 12th, was snowing hard and the deer had been driven from the corn field by some other hunters.
Least seen was 1 on Dec. 5th, was a windy day so I felt they were laying up in the corn fields. None of the corn field in the area have been harvested as I had hoped would happen before the season started. Appears the price of corn has dropped and the fee for drying has increased so the farmers are only harvesting as their own dryers become open.

My quick build blind was the best this season. I didn’t have enough windows so I just put hinges on the cut outs. Can you make out the corn field on the left.




The pvc blind second best dog house #2 was third. Didn’t hunt dog house # 1 much as the zippers froze shut. Contacted Ameristep about this problem. Reply, That’s another story.

Never seen one racked buck the entire season. Lots of button bucks though. Some had stubs over an inch long it appeared.

Never seen another hunter. Heard them driving a corn field however.

This one was 30 feet from the quick buildblind.

Looks like an "out house", but I am sure it is warm and cozy, especially in the 48 rain. Chap
