Very NiceBuck Northernforest.
I've never made it to Michigan to hunt for the big boys but maybe next season I'll get a chance to go and scout out a nice Buck like yours.

Most of the big bucks are the farm deer down in the lower parts of the state.I got this deerin the woods of a swamp and a patch of hardwoods.I am not out to start a fight here but your chances of shooting a nice big buck like this one is much lower in the woods than the farm land in the southern parts of the state.
