Upper Peninsula Hunters!
Hey,
I have been a U.P. hunter for 15 years, and previously lived in Michigan's U.P. for six years. I hunt in Delta County (Near Escanaba) and just wanted to see if others were seeing more deer this year in my "neck of the woods". I have been to camp three times since July and the activity seems much higher than the years in past. I have taken many mature bucks from my property, but I am just curious if this increase in activity is just more localized or if others (in the western U.P.) are seeing an increase......

RE: Upper Peninsula Hunters!
First - welcome to the forum. Hope you get lots of good advice and tips for hunting here.
Second - I find the orange (?) font quite hard to read on my computer. Maybe something darker would be a little easier on old eyes.
Third - I have also been seeing more deer in that area, and I have heard that they are seeing more to the west and also some nice bigger deer this year than in the past. I think these 2-3 mild winters we've had are really starting to show up in the available deer herd.
Good Luck!

RE: Upper Peninsula Hunters!
Thanks for the advice about the font color and the welcome, jaybe, just was trying something different....so do you live in the UP? I work as an Environmental Scientist and have been studying the mild winters on my spare time and I agree that it is playing a key factor in the herd size in the western UP. I am REALLY looking forward to getting up there for this season....our camp in off of the Stonington Peninsula....
