Just hunted a few days in there with the muzzleloader.....tough hunting this year with warm temps and no snow. Deer numbers are nowhere near what they used to be either........I could count on two hands how many I saw, and you can tell they've been hammered by guys all November judging by the areas they are in now. Only heard maybe 4 shots over the three days I hunted. Still a fun but exhausting hunt though. Good luck.

I drew an either sex tag there several years ago but never went because I just didn't have much interest in going alone. I hope you find someone. Good luck. 8-)

I've always wondered... is there something special about that place? I have never really researched it, just see people talk about it once in a while...

Well im talking the refuge/federal side and ive always seen lots of deer and some very nice bucks i havent put in for a buck tag yet but aftwr this hunt i should have enough ground covered and scouting done to try for a buck tag next season Off season they only allow one weekend for scouting and its alot of hiking and a big area, its pretty cool chasing whitetails there with snow late season,alot of different landscapes theres crops they plant for the wildlife gheres marsh oak flats river bottoms u name it its there its beautiful in there

Good luck man. Shiawassee is on my radar for next year now that I've had some luck being mobile/cyber scouting.

It's a restricted hunt and there are some slobs running around every year. I don't doubt Ack a bit that it can be tough sledding this time of year.

Go to Mike Avery's blog and scroll down until you find the guy that posted some rubs from in there. Then open the comments and look at the pics from other guys they took of rubs. You will catch on quick, I'm sure! It has a state and a federal refuge area.

I don't know much about the state area... The federal side has always had some monsters. I've had various friends hunt there since the seventies.
