Opening day of archery deer season in Michigan

[Ajsnack]

Well I arrowed a small buck this morning at 730. Didn't get good blood initially so I backed out and let him lay for a few hours. Came back in the early afternoon and was unable to get good blood still but I was able to track him through small amounts of blood and fresh tracks right to the adjacent property. The owners of the adjacent are not friendly with hunters, so I was unable to recover him. So I get one last shot at filling my tag tomorrow morning before flying back on Wednesday.

I am from Clio, Michigan.
Haven't been there in years, but I was told there is just as many deer in the south as there used to be up North.
Post pics.

SCGH- Yeah came home empty handed, at least my bow made it to Michigan and back safely thanks to the SKB case.

Ratz- There are more deer in the southern part of Michigan than the Northern part now. Although the northern Lower Peninsula has had a recent rebound on there deer population. The U.P. deer numbers are low but hopefully this years wolf hunt up there will help a bit.
