A good time was had by all during this years Mountain Whitetail hunt at Wolverine Valley Outfitters. The hunt began with a significant snow storm to start things off followed by rain and then freezing rain. This lasted the first few days and graced us with about 7 inches of snow and an inch of crusty ice on top. So stealth through the woods was non existant for a majority of the hunt. The first 4 days was a bit challenging with the conditions and the deer not wanting to move and then this wonderful phenomanon called the rut kicked in and things began to change. Doe's were on the move and even the odd buck began to appear along with the elk and moose. The foresr became alive with activity and the hunt was on. Two very respecatable deer were shot within 15 minutes of each other on one morning. A third massive looking mountain buck was called in to 60 yards on the second last day of the hunt but the was unable to get a clean shot off. All in all it was a very successful hunt and we had some great laughs and great guests in camp that made it that much more fun.
