About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedChippewa County occupies the eastern tip of the Upper Peninsula, anchored by Sault Ste. Marie and bordered by Lake Superior and Lake Huron. This is true UP hunting country where black bear, white-tailed deer, and exceptional waterfowl opportunities define the experience. Hiawatha National Forest and vast state forest lands provide near-limitless public access in boreal forest and wetland habitat.
Boreal forest of aspen, birch, and spruce-fir interspersed with vast wetland complexes, Lake Superior and Lake Huron shorelines, and the St. Marys River corridor near Sault Ste. Marie.
Low - remote eastern UP location and a vast public land base dilute pressure significantly across the landscape.
Michigan DNR UP deer regulations with OTC antlered tags; antlerless by permit in designated management zones.
Black bear hunting is excellent with strong populations supporting a popular fall baiting season. St. Marys River and Lake Superior shoreline marshes produce outstanding waterfowl hunting for diving and puddle ducks. Wolf presence keeps deer densities lower than the LP.
St. Marys River diving duck hunting during fall migration; black bear over bait in Hiawatha National Forest.
