About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedAntrim County in the northwest Lower Peninsula is lake country with exceptional hunting character, featuring a mix of hardwood forest, wetlands, and the famous Chain of Lakes. White-tailed deer populations are healthy in the broken terrain and abundant cover, and wild turkey have become a fixture across the county's agricultural fringes. The county sits near Michigan's elk range to the east, though elk hunting here requires a special permit.
Hilly morainic landscape with numerous glacial lakes, hardwood ridges, swamps, and river drainages. Forest transitions from lowland conifers to upland maple-beech-birch stands.
Moderate. Tourist economy means numerous cabins and leases; public land sees consistent pressure during firearm season.
Base license with one antlered tag; antlerless OTC in most years for this DMU. Hilly terrain creates natural funnels that hunters exploit effectively.
Wild turkey hunting is solid along agricultural edges and hardwood ridges. The county borders Pigeon River Country State Forest to the east and is near the Pigeon River elk zone.
Jordan River corridor provides quality public-land whitetail hunting; scenic hardwood ridges with natural terrain funnels create prime ambush setups for mature bucks.
