I can't believe nobody started this yet.
I'm getting stuff ready and about to drive out to Livingston for the beginning of the army!
Good luck and be safe out there today!
I just had a nice shot on a buck tailing 5 or 6 doe about a half hour ago, but it didn't end up the way I would have liked. Caught a decent sized sapling in the path. Managed to find some blood, and it looks like a lung shot. Now for the nerve racking wait game before I keep tracking him. Wish me luck!
Well, I spent the rest of the day logging 2.75 miles of tracking a spotty blood trail through the snow and it ended in a small creek at 5pm. The buck only laid down once in that distance and I jumped it even after waiting more that 3 hours after the shot. Judging by the blood my only guess is it hit it wat far forward as there was sone blood on the front tracks. First deer I've lost since 1995, and I hope it's another 25 years before there's another
Well Ive got a doe down along with another member of camp. Feels good to finally knock something down this year. Been receiving buck porn from all my buddies as per usual. Haven’t seen a shooter buck up here in Luther in a few years, maybe today will be the day. Quite a bit of banging going on around here.
I hunt my own little patch now don't worry about that didn't hunting state land in Gladwin either don't have to worry about being shot when you hunt a mile from the truck and truck in way before people even get to the parking lot
Let him through a few min ago but I think my daughter spooked him back to me.
Wish she would have killed him. Be close to my personal best but I’d rather she got the bragging rights

Not much action here yet.
Saw one small buck early and he's still walking.
The amount of tracks around me is crazy. I just opened a couple new hand warmers.
I'm in for the duration.
Congratulations successful hunters this morning!
Congrats to all with a first buck! Also to those who filled a tag Wish you many more!
Saw all the usual suspects here this morning—7 does and fawns and a 4,3,2 and 1. Plus a wide mystery buck chasing before there was enough light to get a good look at him.

Not the best picture but it will have to do. 2 1/2 year-old eight point. Now I’m out this afternoon looking for his daddy or granddaddy.
Squirrels are barking, Blue Jay's are squaking and I am covered in chickadees. Big buck should be around soon. Saw it on a hunting video. Going to sit til 2 and then go fishing

Hunted Newaygo county this morning, saw 3 doe and 2 that I couldn't tell what they were. Heard just north of 150 shots this morning, few less than the 200 last year.
Wind started swirling really bad around 945. 1000 a doe and 2 fawns came through and busted me so I got out of there soon after and I had just heard the 200th shot. Saw 7 does and fawns and 4 bucks including one that was bigger than the 10 I shot last week.
Could have gotten all of them with the rifle but I was trying to get a doe with the pistol.
Congratulations to all the successful hunters today especially those that got their firsts.
Guy walking around and talking on his cell phone.[emoji849] Yah that just happened and you can hear his conversation from 150 yards away. Thanks a lot F’ing dips#%t! No phone calls for a half a day... How does one survive...
I think if some people had to go without one for a day they would have a break down
