Muzzleloader float hunt video
With fall just about on us and hunting season approaching fast, I just thought it was time to once again share this great video. My buddy and I a couple years ago floating a river in northern Michigan during the December muzzleloader season. Hope you all like it.

Looks like great time afield (tho I'm surprised anything was seen with the constant talking by the cameraman. 
)
I'm curious tho, was that state/fed land? Something was mentioned about a 4-5 hour float trip, now either that's one BIIIIIIIIG holding of private land, was state/fed land or someone filmed themselves POACHING on land they didn't have permission to be on?

That is public land for the most part. A little section at the beginning and at the end is private, other than that it is all public land. We have been float hunting this particular section of river for 30 years. No need for us to poach anything. We were all raised hunting and fishing norhtern Michigan and putting meat in the freezer is easy enough to do legally.

What a great hunt it was. Will probably spend the rest of my life trying to better that one and doubt it will happen. As far as video goes anyhow. I have taken several nice bucks in my 34 years of deer hunting on public land in Michigan, 4 of which score over 100 and 2 of them are over 120, yet the doe in this video is by far one of my best hunts ever, and I didn't even pull the trigger.

Oh and if you look good at the attached pic you will see a definite hit was made. The splash right at the deers hind end is red. Yep, that's blood.
