MI Deer Opener - Live Hunt

[RealMuddyboots]

So my plan this morn was to hunt same spot from opening day. Looked out at 5 this morn, could hardly see driveway pole light from snow coming down. Yep the still warm bed said WTH are you thinking! So maybe this afternoon?

You guys are going to get it worse than us. I'm thinking an evening sit in the blind is warranted. Might be able to fill my doe tag.

Good thing about today is you can sleep in and then just get up and track one down.

So we bought a pop up blind for our granddaughters for Xmas, I said to wife Hmm, sure would work great in this snow! And response? No way! Its THEIR present..

So I never thought I would be interested in one but gotta tell you I am NOW!

Well you should probably make sure it works. It would be terrible to give them a broken/faulty present right?

One day, I want to have a cabin in the UP and have a real UP Deer Camp, blackberry brandy & smoked everything included.

My grandpa built this camp in the early 40’s. Deer camps traditions are alive and well here in the U.P.
Still a few bucks left too….10:00am on the 17th

Good luck Ben!

Your welcome on my place anytime if you want to make the 4 hour drive down.

This ain't like sitting on a side of a coulee getting blasted by wind but it'll do.

Is that thing worth the money?? I bought the smaller round version and returned it the next day… at the time I wasn’t gonna spend an extra $100 on the bigger one like that…..

I'm pretty new to the MI hunting scene, but my FIL loves the APR. He hunts on the east side of TC and says the quality of bucks is improving significantly.

I don't see a lot of folks being selective on deer. I think it's still a harvest culture first, trophy potential second deal.

I’ll be on my best behavior, sir!

We have done ok this year. My brother -in-law got this on the second day. I passed on him on the 15th maybe get out tomorrow afternoon. Heated blinds are nice with this weather.

I've only used it a few times, but I'm a fan. It kept the blind pleasant enough that my feet didn't get cold, and I could have a couple of the windows open for the shooting lanes. In a permanent blind, it would be worth it to have a 20 lb bottle & keep it in there.

I may take you up on that next year! Maybe we should be thinking about a Hunt Talk MI deer camp for next year.

You all didn’t realize he meant he was going to procrastinate till the last day then have soup.

Seems Ben has a stalker.

@Addicting is good people. And I do have a tremendous gluteus.

Jealous?

 

[Ben Lamb]

Now boys, there's plenty of me to go around.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Welp.

 

[Southern Elk]

Just a dusting. Get out there.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Workin' on it.

I'm sitting in a heated box stand today. Certainly not sitting outside when it's 10 degrees with 30mph winds. Just not that ambitious today...
