Okay here is my perspective,,,, I have a home in western Iron County,,,, the UP is not equal,,,,, there are some great bucks shot in Octanogan County and Houghton etc, but its a lot of work,,,,,, I love the UP, and keep this house, because I love to hunt grouse and catch big brook trout,,,, With that said, the UP can be great,,,,, if your looking for record bucks, its tough, more than tough, but if your looking for big deer, than your at the right place.... last year I shot a 7 pointer that you would not look twice at in SW Wis, but it weight 232..... You know what else,,,, it was shot in a paradise of isolation
I have a deer camp in SW Wis Bluff Country, I mean this is prime deer area,,, but I love the UP,,,, I can get lost, build a fire when I want, do not care about anything or anyone.,,,,, The UP is a state of mind...... I surf Lake Superior, I fish all over, and love to chase coasters,,,, this is another world,,,, I would never live in the lower, and wish the bridge did not exist
As for deer it is what it is,,, but I just love it,,, hard to explain,,,,,, is this where I am, during the rut,,,, mostly no, I am elsewhere, but I love the UP, and land is cheap, and camps are cheap, and I love remoteness,,,, My camp is off the grid, and I would not trade it for the world
The UP is the " center of the Universe"
