Hunting the Michigan UP?

<< < (2/3) > >>

WhistlingBadger:
BJ, most of the places we're looking at are south of Marquette.

bjrogg:
I really wish I could help you more W.B.  I had a roommate when I lived in Detroit and went to electronics school. He went the college up there and loved it to. He spent a lot of time by Houghton Hancock area hiking.

Most of the time I’ve spent in U.P. I just went straight north to Canada and then headed east to Blind River.

I have gone from Green Bay along southern coast to Escanaba. Then to Thaquamenewa falls and over to Paradise. Mostly pine trees a grassy swamp. Some pasture.

Gotta be someone who can give you more help than myself on here.

WhistlingBadger:
Well, I was thinking about calling the MI DNR this coming week to get more insight on the hunting scene...but I always prefer to talk to someone who's been there.

JEB:
Well south of Marquette is good. North of there and you would be living in a house boat, lol.

You decide to pull the trigger and move there let P A know and I can put you into a good area for bear, public land. Where I go 1st season takes 8 years but other areas are much shorter.  Some 3rd season areas can be drawn just about every year.

Grouse use to be real good in the logging areas but I haven't hunted them in a few years .  Fishing is touch and go. In some lakes the fish are stunted and other lakes have no fish at all but when you find a good lake to fish it usually produces. My dad caught some blue gills that were as long as the width of the bottom of   a 5 gallon bucket. He had them mounted they were so big. 

Good luck on your adventure.

PEARL DRUMS:
Be prepared for mosquitos like you've likely never encountered, unbearable at times with all the spray and Thermacells you can imagine. Its a very barren land. Not fruitful or bountiful in the least. As stated above, there are pockets of this and that, but you can drive hours in between them. Beauty? Lots of that. The only place in the UP I would even start to consider living would be all the way to the west above Wisconsin.
