I've been trying beast tactics on SEMI public land this year too. Did a lot of scouting in the spring, found some good spots that I hunted, and went in blind at a few places based on aerials and anticipated deer movement/bedding, though my main priority was learning to hunt the wind better than I have been (shout out to a fellow HB member and Michigander who sent me some milkweed this year - you know who you are!).

My most recent public land hunt was last wednesday (day before thanksgiving), 1 week into our firearms season, and I still saw a deer on public land! While I haven't killed anything yet this year on public (I could have taken a doe and a small 4pt) I haven't gotten skunked a single sit, which I consider to be a resounding success as my expectations for public land were extremely low! A lot of guys make it sound like public land in Michigan is a complete waste of time. I couldn't disagree more!

Great job on the buck though! There is tons of great information here. Us Michigan guys have to take all the help we can get! :lol:

Great story, and congrats. Reminds me of a last day of gun season on a SE Michigan public land I had about 15 years ago. Only I missed the buck, then shot a doe a few minutes later.

My buddy who was sitting up in the hardwoods, was like what is going on down there. I was like oh, you didn't see any deer up here in the open woods on last day of gun season :P
