Doc, I think our success rates are pretty good, its the quality of bucks thats lacking in alot of areas.

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

I agree with Kip. I have seen many bucks/does taken but the hawgs don't come very often. I attribute this to the fact that in Michigan, not many people own large tracts of land as they do out west. It is hard to pursue QDM when you are hunting on 20 acres or someone elses land. You may pass up a buck, but the neighbor is gonna shoot it.

Michigan sucess rates are pretty high, it's like patches said though mostly small bucks. We kill (and are allowed to) anything that moves or has a twig on it's head and wonder why we don't have the monsters that Iowa,Illinois, Ohio etc. have.

It's not genetics or habitat....only management (or lack therof)

We have quite a few big bucks in kent county. This year I got a 6 point that scored almost 90" and my buddys friends got a nice 100 class 8 point and we also saw a monster running around on the property we hunt.
