And how was your year of hunting? Thx

I do. Worst season I have EVER had. I think too many years of too many doe permits is taking its toll on MI's deer herd. I seen 1 buck all through bow, rifle, and muzzleloader season, and I only seen that one for 3 seconds.

How was your season? Any better?

I didnt have a bad year, actually saw quite a few bucks this year. Took a nice one during the rut. We had a nice cool fall down here for the first time in a while, gottem moving a little more during hours.

I hunted downstate this year and got a new 60 acre parcel to hunt. Saw a LOT of deer. All through the season I counted 9 bucks ranging from 10pts plus to spikers with most 6-8's. I passed on alot waiting for &quot;HIM&quot; and finally took a doe with the gun on the 26th(gettin' hungry!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Total count for this parcel was 6 does and 2 bucks. Hunted the last day and counted 36 does in 6 hrs. I'm in the Farm belt though and it's close to Urban. There's a Michigan site you can check out for other stats...http://www.michigan-sportsman.com

The forums have all kinds of unofficial harvest polls for across the state.
