Every year i look forward to making my upper peninsula deer camp video. Unfortunately we're not singing a happy deer camp song. Deer camp still has that good free feeling vibe but there doesn't seem to be any deer. I worked hard the last two years doing land management, planting food plots, hinge cutting trees and trying to improve the soil so we can make future food plot without having to bring a lot of implements and other food plot tools in the future. So when you have 12 trail cameras set up on 100 acres of land you'd expect to see a solid deer herd. Unfortunately that has not been the case.
While we're not seeing a lot of deer we are seeing a lot of bears wolves bobcats and coyotes. There are a few moose as well but even with them we used to see a lot of moose. Could it be that we have a predator problem at deer camp or is it like the Michigan DNR report states that there just isn't enough food for the deer to stick around and bed on our property.
This year the first camp brought a wood splitter so we didn't have a lot of deer chores this year like we usually do. We just needed to stack the wood that they had split and then clean up around camp.
Rob and I had intended on going to camp and tracking some deer. We had been researching the big woods deer hunting technique and were watching a lot of videos to learn how to determine the size of a buck by its tracks and be able too tell how fresh the tracks were. We gave it a shot the year before but ended up getting out hunted by a wolf pack that began tracking the same deer as us shortly after we had started. So we were super excited to get to camp and give this technique a second try.
As the days started leading up to the deer camp opener the temperatures kept getting warmer and warmer and the chances of being able to track a deer through the snow was becoming less and less. A couple days before deer camp we finally got a couple inches of snow. But unfortunately in the same day that same snow had melted and became a muddy mess. When we showed up at camp there wasn't a hint of snow. Unfortunately we didn't really have a plan b.
Having to stick to the same old techniques of sitting in deer blinds over small piles of bait it wasn't looking to good. As the deer camp went on it didn't get much better. we didn't see many deer, or even deer sign.
Next year I still plan on heading to deer camp too make some much needed improvements to the land. I plan on planting even more food plots and trying to build a deer herd that will want to come back year after year.
No matter how much hunting camo you have, how nice your deer blind is or how many food plots you plant, if there isn't any deer in your area you're not going to harvest a nice buck. No matter what we're always excited to go back to our upper peninsula deer camp. The silence, the stars, the northern lights and all of the other wildlife in the area make it a magical place to visit.
