Great deer, guys. The public spots near camp were dead this past season, 40 miles or so north of home here in west MI. I usually have a couple encounters with bucks using scents during early November.
30 miles or so east on private and 8-10 deer sighted every hunt, with 4 different decent bucks. All of whom were too smart for me, unfortunately. I'll have them figured out for this next season hopefully.
Still gonna hit the public around camp of course, the challenge there is fun. Every deer I've killed has come from public so far, no big guys, though...
