Upper Peninsula Michigan buck opening day rifle season 2008

this deer had good potential, a big body, good choice letting him grow up

[M1NDC0N7R0L]

Yeah, there are large deer in michigan, but most of the deer that I see harvested are not shooters in my book. That is great that you guys are practicing QDMA in your area and hopefully you can get enough people on board. Good luck and safe hunting.

[M1NDC0N7R0L]

Nice body, but young buck. I think that you are the only hunter in mi. that wouldn't have shot him. EVERYONE IN MI. shoots little bucks. that is why there are very few big boys. nice vid.

[chipdasqrrl2]

@M1NDC0N7R0L that is partly true, but they dont get to like 20+ point because they don't have enough food here in michigan. I would not have shot it though, it's so small i would take 6 point+.

@M1NDC0N7R0L

Not everyone in MI shoot little bucks, mostly firearm hunters. I live near Grand Rapids and am an avid bow hunter and I have shot many bucks over 100 inches and have let a lot of 1.5 year old bucks like in this video go. A lot of guys in my area practice QDMA and the word is getting out more. If someone needs meat, there is no reason they can't shoot a doe instead of a dink buck like this. Cool video but not a shooter buck for another couple years. Let em go and grow!

@M1NDC0N7R0L Not everyone does, the revolution is coming. People are learning to let the young ones go.

What city is this in?

[WrestlingGiant]

if it's legal I would have shot it. But i'm not you. Gotta put venison on the table for the family.

[hubbars5]

@WrestlingGiant Then shoot a doe

[WrestlingGiant]

@hubbars5 shoot a doe, you're potentially killing 3. Her and her 2 young ones

[livetohunt360]

great video!!! A+++++++++++ where do you hunt i hunt in ishpeming,mi and yes the buck to doe ratio is pretty bad

5/5

[anavidhunter]

Excellent...that made your hunt right there.

Great footage...and fun hunt.

5/5

[redsneckboy]

haha not a bad body on it really but thats always exciting when they come right into the grunt call and get that close

[hondasniper250]

me too love it up there  in newberry adn paradise

[randyrhoadsfan100]

i love deer hunting in michigan i go up to berga every year for bear and deer it real fun

[rjl2000]

Good call on not shooting. The U.P. of Michigan's deer heard ratio is one of the worst in the country. Too many does and too many hunters shooting small bucks.

[SKIPOLERULES]

awesome vid 5 star

[conmanrocks113]

you made the right desition dont shoot the little ones let them grow into nice mature bucks

[hunterwyattmonica]

Good for you, let em grow a little. I'm headed up to Rapid River (go every year) on the 9th for muzzleloader...gotta fill a doe permit at least and set a few traps and predator hunt at night....shot a nice big male bobcat up there 2 years ago. Nice country up there...looking forward to it.

[steinjosh1]

Yeah I sure love it up here, I love to predator hunt too. Good Luck!

[steinjosh1]

Was waiting for something a little bigger...

[darklord2626]

did you shoot it? or were you just getting some footage?
