MONSTER PUBLIC LAND MICHIGAN BUCK! | Chris Bee Jealousy!

[@TheElementWild]

How hard is it to get a buck that big on public land in Michigan? Do you consider him to be a big buck?

[@kylen1922]

It realy depends where u are at. I'm just west of where u are and thats a shooter. 130 is very respectable deer. But it's not uncommon to get 150+ on camera. The deer in Michigan are very smart. But there is no shortage of critters.

[@normankaster917]

Deer in Michigan have the best teachers.... Anything that's graduated into the 130's has a PHD in art of diapering into thin air, just to show back up after hunting season. I have hunted/ harvested many deer here and have had my far chance at connecting with some good deer..... But I have found Michigan deer hunting makes me an absolute geniuses when I hunt out of state. Other states have some really stupid deer that never graduated past the 8 th grade but support 140's+. So have fun and good luck if you do come to Michigan you have allot of learning to do.

[@f91256]

Im from michigan and havent even watched the video yet but hes a shooter.

[@bpwhitetails]

Best chance would be first few days of season. Once pressure hits all scouting info has to be really time due to them changing core areas so fast

[@bpwhitetails]

You guys are looking at the right stuff! I’m based here in Mi and that’s the kind of stuff I go after and constantly find good deer holding up.

[@TheElementWild]

Man it looks like it could be hard hunting, but the deer are there!

[@bpwhitetails]

@@TheElementWild We have great deer numbers! Filling tags is easy. Its consistently killing good deer that is a little tricky.lol

[@AlexMartinez-kv6be]

Hunted several of those exact spots. Cool video but it hurts a little bit seeing them on KZbin. Tons of pressure even in early October. Cars at every pull off and parked along the road every 100 yards

[@jordanpowell228]

I hunt the same areas. Its cool but does sting a bit

[@seume]

With that many people not sure how you can even hunt it at all

[@TeamMichOutdoors]

me too lol was thinking in my head stop pinning em

[@davidstaley610]

I know right where that camera was lol 😆

[@joehorton01]

I missed the first part so I'm gonna watch it again. Thanks for the content guys

[@TheElementWild]

Thanks for the support man! Hope you get some good info!

[@johngordon6330]

All of this is coming from getting a picture of a deer in the middle of summer? At night? Not in deer season when you see the reality of it and the struggle to fined a 3 year old I must be in the wrong part of MI.

Thanks dude! Really great place. Glad we got to explore it for a day!

[@codybrown5195]

What a neat area. Great video guys!

[@TheElementWild]

Thank CB! Definitely a cool place!

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

Great video guys,just gotta love those Michigan Skeeter's, definitely a big buck

[@TheElementWild]

No doubt! Lol

[@normaneastman6889]

Ferns. Are those ferns you were asking about

[@TheElementWild]

Nah, we have ferns down here. It was a different little plant.

[@chris.webb13]

Michigan public hunters already camping at that spot

[@TheElementWild]

Gonna be like a water hole at the kaibab!

[@patricktibbetts3645]

Vermont deer are one of the toughest deer to hunt.

[@TheElementWild]

That’s interesting man! We’ve been wanting to explore the northeast some. What’s it like in Vermont?

[@patricktibbetts3645]

Theres been 1000 people on all those islands lol

*1003* 😉

[@BadgerBroadheads]

Come try public on North Georgia! It would be an awesome map Scout challenge. Tough terrain and low densities!

[@TheElementWild]

We’ve been 👀 Georgia! Thanks for the tip!

[@kylen1922]

Great video guys, keep up the hard work it will pay off in michiagn.

[@TheElementWild]

Thanks bro!!! We appreciate your feedback and comments on this vid. It’s always cool to get a local’s perspective.

[@Dakodabonesteel]

You’re down by the city down by Detroit how about you come up north

[@gentrye02]

man what a fun trip!

[@TheElementWild]

No doubt brother!

[@beforethehunt]

I’ve killed a buck on that first island back in 2006

[@TheElementWild]

Wow dude! That’s really cool. Can you send a pic to our ig account? I’d love to see it.

[@beforethehunt]

@@TheElementWild if I can find it. 2006 was pre smart phones. Also I am not on IG much

[@deeranddeerbehavior6073]

This was a blast! Congrats on the HUGE buck on trail camera!

[@TheElementWild]

Thanks!

[@daniel.espinotx]

Keep these map scout videos rolling! Learning so much especially from the TX ones

[@TheElementWild]

Yessir!

[@normaneastman6889]

I told thp you need to hunt the southern part of MI. Southern ten percent near 94. Big bucks in extreme southern MI

[@TheElementWild]

It’s good down there! At least from what we’ve seen.

[@jimpowers2047]

they eat hard beans and corn in michigan late october november.....go off yellow beans to clover, alfalfa, acorns and drying leaves

[@samhogan8113]

Dropping GPS coords for the ol Michigan boys!

[@TheElementWild]

Yessir! Not sure if they’d be able to find bucks without em! Not many like you out there dude!

[@xwhitewolfe]

Probably a little itchy after all the bug bites on this one haha😅 Tyler's constantly swatting some

[@TheElementWild]

Man ain’t that the truth 😂

[@thecaptainonline]

My hunting area....

[@ffemt703]

i would argue that Michigan has one of the highest pressure of hunters relative to other states. As such the deer are skittish. The other issue is that for years it has been see brown and shoot. Up until antler restrictions took effect it didn't allow deer to mature. 3 years ago I tried a new to me spot for gun opener. When it was light enough could see 4 other hunters all looking at the same little bowl. I decided it wasnt a safe location, and moved. About 10 minutes later it sounded like world war 3 over there. Come to find out a small 6 point walked in....and no less than 15 shots were taken. Stupidest thing I ever heard. Private land is WAY different than public.

[@kalebsmith2155]

That buck is HUUUUGE!!!! Relatively mature too!

[@TheElementWild]

Very much relative to other Michigan deer!

[@blakeensing7376]

He’s not bad. Probably the only mature buck in a square mile. Lol MI deer are smarter than the average bear. Make sure you’re 22ft up or you’re not going to have a fun hunt.

[@blakeensing7376]

And sorry to burst your bubble, but MI is the hardest state to kill a mature buck in. And it only took me 2 min to find that exact spot where your camera is. Public land hunters in MI drive 2001 chevys and gmcs lol

[@TheElementWild]

No bursting our bubble. I mean we don’t know you so we take it with a grain of salt. I imagine it was easy to find the camera since we showed the map for several minutes. Good luck this year!

[@blakeensing7376]

@@TheElementWild I meant I found it in the areal. I’m not going near your spot. I have my own deer.

[@blakeensing7376]

I drive a 19 RAM. Just warning you what you’re going to be dealing with in MI.

[@TheElementWild]

@@blakeensing7376 Yea we don't live or hunt in MI so we we're just making silly assumptions as to what people drive. It was pretty obvious that y'all don't all drive the same vehicle while we were up there. Also, we don't consider that "our spot". We just hung a camera there to show people that getting out and scouting pays off. Rams are cool!

[@SMSCHA]

You should have gone to Northern Michigan for your hunt. Southern Michigan is easy to hunt with heavy deer density and decent size bucks.

[@TheElementWild]

So we should go to the place with less deer and smaller bucks?

[@SMSCHA]

@@TheElementWild not saying that you should but if you want to know why people say it’s harder to hunt deer in Michigan you have to hunt in other areas too. Plus you showed us pictures of a decent buck on public land but have you shot a decent buck on public land😉 I don’t disagree that you can’t get a decent public buck in Michigan but when the orange army starts blasting away at doe before bow season starts the game definitely changes a bit. I hunt both private and public and I hunt Southern Michigan and Northern Michigan, I have plenty of nice southern Mi bucks but yet to get one from up North. I see at least one every other year up there on average but seeing a shooting are two different things.

[@SMSCHA]

@@TheElementWild you guys did a great job explaining how to use OnX I learned a few things. Hats off to you for putting your feet on the ground and going in to those swamps with those nasty mosquitoes too.👍
