MICHIGAN DEER HUNT


Recommended Posts

A couple white tails I shot the other day. I was hunting a cut bean field adjacent to about a ten acre woodlot and a farm drainage. This is the most active portion of their rut and bucks can show up anywhere-literally. It's a really exiting time to hunt deer. 

The eight point (4x4) came by chasing a doe passing on my right. I didn't get a shot so I grunted one time and sat tight. He came back around 20 minutes later and stood broadside in the open maybe 30 yards away. I couldn't believe my luck. 180gr. Remington corelok downrange and he dropped in his tracks. Again, I can't believe my luck. I stand up and start to sling my rifle and two does come out and stand there 20 feet from the down fellow. Really not believing my luck at this point. I had one doe tag and there was not a nickles difference between these two. The one I shot hunched up nice and ran into the woodlot. 20 yards in she turned to watch her back trail and expired. The eight point was a really big bodied fellow. it doesn't show so much in the picture. But I needed help loading him and I never do normally.

Chronic Wasting Disease is becoming a concern here so both heads had to be checked at the lab. Meats in the freezer waiting on the results.

Good luck everyone this season and be safe. We've had 4 fatalities and a fellow who ended up suspended upside down from his tree stand 40 feet in the air. The Technical Rescue Team had to be deployed. That had to be embarrassing. lol

      Hello!
      I'd love to learn more people's opinions on deer hunting using dogs, as it's a very controversial topic in the hunting world. I've only ever used dogs for grouse and waterfowl hunting, but many hunters also use for deer. I write a little hunting blog on the side for fun (this is not an ad, there is no ad/affiliate on the blog but let me know if I can't link!) and I really want to write about the dog hunting controversy.
      What are your opinions? For or against, why, why not etc? No judgement, just trying to get the general hunting population's opinions!
      God Bless!

      The usual warm welcome and off out to be dropped in a high seat.3o mins later saw a little white bum ,bins  up it's a  Roe buck Doe and fawn .
      Shot the fawn ,nice size Doe and waited but the other  Doe didn't return to her fawn .Green out ,healthy gralloch .
      Back to the Bothy, fawn in the chilled and bald bloke to local for a nice nosh.
      5am already up ,tea and biscuits meet the other guests and out .Unsuccessful hour in a different seat and off on foot to see a massive buck 10m away. Took the heart shot ,he ran and dropped. This can't be right he was massive, this is a spiker. 
      Me tit, scope on 9 not 0 so at 10m he looked huge .Nice clean gralloch, and luckily the guide was with me as he was a fat boy to carry.
      Great weekend, good craic,great friends
