SoxFan1 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 So, basically this thread is for me and Heads, but if there are any other hunters on ST, chime in. I'll be heading up to the UP this coming weekend to hang up the stands and scout the area. The Rut should be starting to kick in in about 2 weeks or so. I'm damn excited too.

Nice. They say the Dakota's are the best for Pheasants. Are you using an outfitter or do you know someone with land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 It's a private landowner that runs a business taking people out to hunt. Not really an outfitter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really an outfitter.... Close enough. Sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I cant wait until the Michigan Rifle Season for Whitetail. The only thing I saw last year was a wolf. It was running right towards me from my left but I didn't know what it was because of a ridge I couldn't see over. Ran at me to within 10 yards until I caught a glimpse of it and then it saw me (or the rifle lol) and took a sharp turn and ran away to my left-front. Pretty exciting.

Texsox Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'll probably do some ferrel hog and dove this year. Deer are just too expensive in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Heads, how did that trip to Dakota go? I leave on Wednesday to hunt the Upper Peninsula. People I've talked to said the deer movement is phenomenal. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yah. The coolest thing I saw was when all 3 dogs were withing a 10 foot diameter, in a circle, pointing at one bird. The guide told one to get it up and the dog damn near pulled the bird out of the air. One of the other guys in the group got that one, but the next time they did it, I hammered the bird. It was awesome. Plus it was in the mid 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather in Michigan is supposed to be in the low to mid 40's for the next week and other hunters I've talked to have had great success and seen lots of deer. Hopefully I nail one next week.
