Cedarville deer
« on: September 04, 2021, 02:19:52 PM »
Drove around Hill Island and Island 8 yesterday spotting 18 deer.   The older ones are shedding their red summer coats for gray winter coats.  Great variability in fawn size....saw a fully spotted couple not quite the size of a Labrador Retriever and others much larger and losing spots.  Saw three 1 1/2 year old bucks with spike antlers and all three had noticeably longer antlers on the left side.   No mature bucks.

Yearlings around our camp were easy to distinguish from adults based on much smaller body size.  Wonder if some does aren't caught til December or January.

Has anyone seen a post by Spruce lately?  Always enjoyed hearing about things in the western UP.

be careful You might piss of some of your liberal friends if they find out your not being gender neutral talking about deer and are even going to use an evil gun to murder one. Bernie would be ashamed

yup we should bitch to the dnr about DOE permits and BUCK licenses. Those gender stereotypes have to end!!! ::) Then lets defund the dnr and im sure all the liberal democrats that hunt will be willing to give up there deer rifle and hunt with a bow. No more atvs either unless there electric. Comical thing is the down state liberals that come up here once or twice a year and trade there docker pants and leather shoes for some wranglers a pair of swampers and a red plaid shirt and think there one of the good old boys.

makes you shake your head when there havent been doe tags in the dnr area our camp is in in over 5 years but if your a native american you and your kids all get 5 doe tags. Wonder how long it will be before Whitmer decides that blacks and muslims should get them too.

Lloyd, How did you learn that tribal hunters get 5 doe tags?  Reservation land or state/federal land?   News to me.   Now, when we hunted Emmet County south of Wilderness State Park we would sometimes encounter tribal folks rifle hunting when scouting before the 11/15 opener.

Did not see a single deer near Cedarville Sunday-Tuesday.   Did have to wait for a flock of rapidly growing turkey poults to cross the road...they've been around all summer.

my best friend is married to a women that qualifys as an indian and so does there two daughters and the two daughters of the one thats married. So there family are in the soo tribe and get 25 deer tags every year. They have boundrys based on the tribe. But can hunt on any state land or private land within those boundrys and the soo tribe controls near 1/2 of the UP.   Theres goes from munising to gwinn and includes land right up to escanaba and all the way to the soo. My post isnt correct. They get 5 tags. All can be used for does but two can be used for bucks. They also get licenses for all game and can even net fish and tags for trapping bobcat ect. My dad was from cedarville and he laughs these days. He said back when he was young there nobody wanted to be called an indian so they called themselves french canadians. Now that they get free food, cheaper gas, all the hunting licenses , free medical and some tribes even give out cash they all are proud indians.

Casinos.  Patronized by downstate folks bussed up for the weekend, eh?

Tribal tags or state tags?  Must be tribal with tribal enforcement oversight.  No longer have ready access to Conservation Officers but I'll try to remember to ask the next time I see a CO.

I run into tribal fishermen from time to time east of I 75, but so far no hunters.  I wonder if anyone in the DNR or elsewhere has counted up the tribal deer harvest in the different management zones.
