Kalamawho?! ;)

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

I used to live up around New Era and Hart. I often go up and hunt my Aunts Farm around New Era about a mile from lake Michigan.

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

I like it, but of course the only other school I have attended was MCC (muskegon Community) so I don't have much to campare it to.

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

I graduated from Ferris in 92. As the saying goes, easy school to get in, hard to stay in. I've had friends that completed the optometry program and loved it and are doing very well for themselves. It's supposed to be one of the best in the country for that program.

I grew up in Oxford, (Oakland County, 1/2 hour north of The Palace), and am currently making my home in Howell, Livingston County. I have hunting property in Harrison.

GVDocHoliday - been to Tippy many times. What a great part of the state. How's the turkey population up there?

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

Turkey population is doing very well. The second season this year however didn't cooperate with my college schedule, so I went right with the 234 hunt. It's the same time as the second season last year. This will be my third year goin' after gobblers...so far I'm two for two(knock on wood) but I've been fortunate enough to draw the second season both times. Hopefully they won't be too educated by the time I go after them.

I am originally from Mio. Born in Marlette and raised (until 5) in Peck and then
moved up to Mio. Moved to Oregun In 81. Lots of family in and around Peck, and
one Bro in Mio. I sure miss the Partridge and Pheasant hunting back there. I went
back last year for the Turkey season and got a young jake. Lots of Turkeys back

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

CEDAR SPRINGS here guy's hunt in kent and newaygo counties, geesh enough of us michigander's here we should have our own michigan gathering:D:D:D:D

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

Well, ya gotta admit......Michigan is where its at!!!! Can anyone honestly tell me there is anything more wiley,harder to hunt, more coy, tougher to trick, than the illustrious Michigan Whitetail? I am telling you, if you can be successful here, you can be succesful anywhere. :D:D:D

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

I hear you patches...the state of MI has the highest deer population, yet the lowest success rate. As compared to Iowa, which has one of the lowest deer populations and the highest success rate.

Also, what's the deal here...it seems everyone is either from Mid/Southern MI or da UP eh. It's like I'm the only one between M55 and the bridge. Nobody from the Cadillac, Traverse City, or Gaylord areas have sounded off yet. Funny thing is that I also notice that this is the trend for 3d shoots during the summer.

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

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.

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

Grand Blanc checking in, good to see so many Michiganders!!

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

Oh btw, i graduated from Ferris and if you like to hunt and fish, its a great place to go to school!

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

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)

RE: Any one from Michigan
 

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.

RE: Any one from Michigan

We are supposed to be the bannana belt of the U.P. but somebody forgot to tell the snow God's that this year.

RE: Any one from Michigan

RE: Any one from Michigan
