Whitetail Hunting in Upper Michigan

What area of the Upper Penisula have you hunted? Where would you like to hunt? Have you any experienced with ol' time Nothern Michigan Deer Camps?

All I can say you haven't really deer hunted until you hunt the big woods of Da' Yooper. I started hunting the Upper Pennisula about 20 years ago after spending my first 8 years of deer hunting near Alpena. So, in 1991 I researched several potential city's in da' Upper and within 2 years we went from shooting small bucks to shooting 120" bucks and above.

This video was of me and my first buck in the Upper... shot on the Gun Opener of 1994 about 9:30 am in the morning. He was about a 134" 17 pt with about a 17-18" inside spread. Not bad for only hunting the area for 2 years if I do say so myself. Granted I was only 23 years old and had started deer hunting at 13 years old.

What I like about the Upper is the "unknown" adventure it provides. I call it my "poor man's outwest trip". It's some of the toughest hunting you'll experience and finding and locating good ground is key.
