Our deer opener is tomorrow. Lots of wind and rain mixed with snow most of the day today. Hope the wind lets up.
Good luck in the morning my fellow deer hunters. May your aim be true and your hunt exceptional. Enjoy God's beauty.

My daughter is 13 and she asked me to take her. She missed one during youth Hunt and she is looking for redemption. She is all practiced up now and sighted in. I bet she is up before me in the morning.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Good luck and a safe hunt to everybody.Jeep is packed,.303 Brit is sighted in and ready to go.I love this time of year,and I'm glad I was raised and taught to hunt in a state where deer season is a deeply held tradition.

Northern mi on the north shores of Lake Superior we got around 4 inches snow last night inland, the lakeshore snow melted before it hit the ground. Deer are scarce and cat sightings are high, usually it’s wolves around here but they followed the deer south this past summer, now seeing wolverine here and there, i believe it’s related to the high numbers of turkey we had in recent years.

Good luck to everyone heading out! I'm fighting a cold but I'll still give a go for traditions sake. Did get a nice one during bow season so the pressure to put something in the freezer is off...

Good luck. You have fresh snow so that should help.

Stay in thick cover and watch the noon_2p.m. time wink


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Going to work, first opener in years I may miss...partially. I have 500+ acres at the mill, paved 5 more acres a few weeks back for log storage. Planted rye around edges for erosion. The deer are keeping it fresh mowed. So I have a popup out there. My crew voted to all work. When you got a good crew wanting to work you let them work. I will head out back after noon till dark. Don't see me hunting my own deer camp till after Thanksgiving. Good luck all my Michigan friends!!


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
