Default Question for Michigan hunters

I am coming up to Michigan for opening day for bow. I have bought some c'amer deer 3 day hunt. Has anyone used it up there or any other advice would be great. Thanks in advance for any help.

be a lot cheaper just to buy a bag of carrots or corn, they'll pretty much hit anything that you put out, just a matter of how long it takes them to find it

I have tried some of that "stuff" but I agree use your money on a bag of carrots , corn , apples , or sugar beets .

I agree, having grown up in Michigan get yourself a few bags of apples. That C'mere deer I have had no luck with. I live in Texas, I have watched the deer walk right by it on their way to feeder.

Since we now have a CWD positive deer in Michigan be aware that baiting is now illegal.

Im not worried about putting meat in the freezer, I am worried about the people who are going to continue to feed on a few of the neighboring properties. You can't trespass to find out but when all the deer aren't near your stand like they used to be opening day, I know something is up. Im just waiting to see how the DNR is going to handle this come October and especially November.

Baiting is now a big no-no so they can get busted...

Anither thing is there are many areas in MI that have been all but eradicated of deer...I used to see 40-100 deer on opener and have my pick of bucks and now we do good to see 10 between the entire camp!!! Doe a day has killed the area, we never participated in that activity but the neighboring properties sure did...[:@]

I hear ya, I know that baiting is illegal, it's just enforcing it is going to be the problem. I know people who will risk a $500 fine so they can have the chance to get the biggest deer in the area. That's not me, I just know people in the area I hunt.

We don't quite have that problem with does, its the bucks. Everyone seems to kill all the small bucks and let the does go. Not saying there are still as many does as beforebut antlers seem to be harder and harder to come by. Once in a while we'll spot a monster briefly, but it's not the same as it was 15 years ago.
