Book 8 – Great Michigan Deer Tales
$19.00
NEW BOOK
Book 8 has 17 chapters compared to 15 in each of the previous seven volumes in this series about the biggest bucks bagged by hunters in Michigan, and some of the chapters cover multiple bucks. Each of the chapters in this book, like the others, were carefully selected to be both entertaining and educational.
Description
This book isn’t just about big bucks though. One of the chapters is about one of Michigan’s most successful deer hunters, who shot bucks 70 years in a row. This UP hunter is now more than 90 years old and has more than 100 whitetails to his credit, all of which were shot for the quality meat they provide instead of the size of their antlers. Another chapter is about one more of the state’s most successful deer hunters who has taken trophy bucks from the same 52-acre parcel of land he owns 36 years in a row.
There’s one more chapter that proves it’s not necessary to protect spikehorns in order to produce plenty of older age bucks. That chapter is about a bowhunter’s exceptional success on bucks that were at least 4 ½ years old in Gogebic County between 1985 and 1995 when spike bucks were legal to all hunters and there were far more hunters during that decade than there are today.
You will learn the how, where and when behind every kill as well as who got these special deer.

Book 7 – Great Michigan Deer Tales
$18.00
Book 7 of Great Michigan Deer Tales continues the tradition started in 1994 with Book 1 in the series of providing detailed information about how, where, when and by whom the state’s biggest bucks were bagged. The chapters in the newest book were carefully selected to be both entertaining and instructional just like those in the other books in the series. There’s at least one lesson that can be learned and applied to anyone’s deer hunting in each chapter and some chapters are loaded with lessons about Michigan deer hunting.
Description
You will find the stories behind 12 state record bucks along with other notable kills made with bow and arrow (both vertical and horizontal bows), muzzleloader, shotgun, rifle and handgun from across the state. One of the chapters is about the first albino buck to make it into state records and why white deer are legal for hunters to shoot. Others are about the state’s biggest 6-pointers, UP bucks that lived to be 8 ½, a father and daughter who bagged four trophy bucks between them during one season, a UP hunter who bagged more than 100 deer and much more.
