Yeah...deer are moving in Mich. now. My dad has been muzzleloader hunting and he saw 3 bucks one time out...and they were chasing a doe! He gave them all a pass, although he is kicking himself. He saw a young 4 point, a young 7 point, and then another 4 point with not much for a rack whatsoever. He thinks he saw this deer last year and the year before and thinks it might be like 6 or 7 years old. Although we are passing up the young bucks, if he sees this one again and can confirm that it is past his prime, he will definitely try to take it out of the herd.
Oh, BTW, he is hunting just west of Montrose, MI...I saw that gzg38bis from Flushing, which is within 20 minutes of where we hunt.

You shoudl feel lucky to see such a site, this is whats called yarding up. The deer are now getting back in to groups and trying to survive winter, they can do this better in a group. Not too many folks get to see whats called a deer yard anymore. Get some pics and post. We have a couple places around that the deer yard up every year, what a site to see.

I love Late season, after gun season they began to butch up in large groups in what I call their winter gounds usually an area with good cover and feeding areas. It can be tough to hunt with all their senses working together.
