New from Michigan

[Ab24]

Hey all, made a few posts on here already but figured I’d introduce myself. I’m from southern Michigan and I am planning my first elk hunt. Any resources I can use to research units and helpful tips are welcome!

I am a native of Idaho and have grown up elk hunting, but I found myself in Michigan going to school after I got out of the Navy...my second daughter was born in Ann Arbor. When I was there I wished that I could have learned how to hunt those Midwest white tails!

Plenty of public land in Michigan! Come and get it done! Haha I imagine it’d be pretty tough to go from hunting elk to standing in a tree stand for hours hunting white tails lol

Welcome. By S. MI Do you mean near MI-OH-IN border? I’m spitting distance from the D. Or SE MI to some. Been to CO on 1 elk hunt. And took a MI cow on Canada Creek Ranch a while back.

Yeah, I’m in Kalamazoo. Grew up in Jackson though. But that’s awesome, how long had you been buying points to draw that tag?

 

[Missahba]

The MI cow? Years ago. I’m not sure there was even a point system yet. If there was I had none. Just lucky. Even though the hunt was mostly flat land and a few small hills, it was still amazing. Completely different experience from deer hunting.

I have hunted elk in Wyoming years ago. My uncles used to live there and were my "guides". Its beautiful country and I have many fond memories.

Welcome from another Midwesterner. Good luck with the planning, I did my first elk hunt last year and although I didn't tag one, I got alot of helpful advice on here

Yeah no matter what I’m most excited for the experience. My brother and I will make a lot of great memories looking for those raghorns in the mountains.

So far I’ve learned quite a bit from asking questions and looking through old threads. Great source of info on this site.
