About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedLuce County is one of Michigan's largest and most sparsely populated counties, covering a vast expanse of eastern Upper Peninsula forest between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Deer densities are modest but remoteness filters out casual hunters, and extensive public land in Hiawatha National Forest and Lake Superior State Forest makes it a destination for hunters seeking an authentic UP experience. Black bear are present in good numbers throughout the forested interior.
Expansive boreal and mixed hardwood forest with extensive wetland complexes, river drainages including the legendary Two-Hearted River flowing to Lake Superior, and minimal agricultural clearing throughout the vast county interior.
Low. Remote location, a sparse road network, and long distances from any population center keep hunter numbers low even during peak firearm deer season.
UP deer management system; antlerless opportunities vary by DMU with restrictions applied in years following severe winters and significant snow mortality.
Black bear hunting draws dedicated hunters from across the region; ruffed grouse and woodcock hunting along river corridors and aspen cuts is exceptional. Wolves are established and protected.
Exceptional black bear habitat anchored by Hiawatha National Forest; the Two-Hearted River corridor offers remote deer and upland bird hunting in a legendary UP setting.
