About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedMidland County in central Lower Peninsula features a productive mix of managed forest and Tittabawassee River bottomlands that support solid deer populations. The river corridor creates reliable deer movement and travel routes during the rut, while surrounding timber and agricultural land provide quality cover and forage. Turkey populations are well established across the county's wooded areas.
Flat to gently rolling glacial plains with sandy soils transitioning to richer bottomlands along the Tittabawassee River and its tributaries. Mixed hardwood-pine forest covers much of the county with agricultural land in the western and southern portions near the Saginaw Valley transition.
Moderate to high on available public land due to proximity to Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw metro areas. Private land hunters enjoy considerably less pressure and better quality experiences.
Over-the-counter combo license with antlerless tags available. Antler point restrictions per current southern LP DMU zone.
Wild turkey populations are established throughout the county with good spring gobbler hunting in the mixed hardwood timber. Ruffed grouse are present in forest areas. The Tittabawassee River offers fishing opportunity throughout the season.
Tittabawassee River bottomlands create reliable rut corridors with consistent deer movement; central LP location provides convenient access for hunters across mid-Michigan.
