Had a chance for a short trip in Michigan 2 days ago.On 10 km stretch of a side road and about 15 km of Highway i saw about 150 deer.Somewhere between Port Huron and Flint.
I know this does not help.........but boy o boy if they have plenty of deer.

It is quite the eye opener , the number of deer that you see driving along I- 69 in Michigan.
I guess they don't have the same Hunter pressure we have here that have driven our Deer to be nocturnal..HaHa....
In Michigan ? Not sure about that !Quote:

The hunting pressure seems enormous.Yet their deer seems a whole lot less skittish then"ours".
On two occasions i slowed,turned,came back to enjoy the view-the herd was 50-70 yards from me,and would barely bother with my staring at them from a stopped vehicle.
MikePal-i guess Your HaHa ending says what you meant.........
Yes sarcasm is a dying art on this forum :)Quote:

Our daughter was over last night and she said that while visiting a friend on Fri. p.m. they counted approximately 70, yes 70 deer in a field across from her friends place this was due east of Woodstock several miles.
Me too... Friday. late afternoon early evening seen a ton of deer..... Never seen so many in such a short period of time.... Maybe seen 50-60 in about a half dozen fields.... Nice to see so many making it through the winter. Mind you, besides the cold, snow depth was never a concern my way...Quote:
