The Big Buck Ranch on Neebish Island is managed under deer management principles prescribed by the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA). For more information about the QDMA, contact the organization at QDMA.com.
Proud Hunters Proud Yoopers talks about the development of deer management in Michigan and the work of the state's Natural Resources Commission and the Department of Natural Resources in managing our wildlife. The book extensively covers how some hunters become involved in "Deer Politics," the politics of hunting and wildlife management.
The Hank family has also hunted for decades on public hunting lands in the UP, including in the great Gogemain Swamp near Stalwart and Raber. Throughout the book, there are numerous hunts and adventures that happen deep in the vast forests of the eastern UP's Gogemain, the "Burning" and "Hungry Hill."
