Hunt near the home in GR, and up in the UP over Thanksgiving. We have a cabin in Rapid River, Michigan. Great place, beautiful. How far is that from you? Keweenaw Peninsula I see. We drive past there on our way I think.

My address is really Caledonia I live behind the new Meijer at M6 and Kalamazoo I hunt north west of Big Rapids. I have been hunting some state land that is surounded on three sides my private land for the last nine years and taken 7 bucks. The last three have been a lot warmer and I have not seen near as many deer and only had one buck in that time. Maybe it is something else but the deer seem to move a lot more there when it is below 30 degrees.

Agreed, I pray for snow every november. The cold temperature get the deer up and moving, feeding much more drastically, and the rut kicks in its last week to. It needs to turn colder!



By the way, I sat tonight and had a mature 8 and 6 point chase a doe hard. They came through 40 yards out and I grunted softly. The 8 point stuck right on the doe and went across the country (kidding), but the 6 came in at 30 yards. A little young yet, so he will hopefully live another year.


Good luck to all!!! 36 hours remaining!!!

Ya it also gets other hunters up and moving which moves the deer.
