Michigan Deer Unit 28

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Michigan Game Management Unit 28.

Michigan's Unit 28 is glacial moraine country in the Grand Traverse region, where short, sharp, repetitive ridges and kettle-hole depressions wear deer hunters down faster than the modest 580 to 1,400 ft elevation spread suggests. We map how whitetails work the mid-slope hardwood benches for red oak acorns and beechnut mast, then shift into the dense cedar swamps along the Boardman, Platte, Betsie, and Manistee headwaters once snow flies, all across a fragmented mix of Pere Marquette State Forest and interlocking private parcels. The pack delivers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
