Michigan Deer Unit 48

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Michigan Game Management Unit 48.

Michigan's Deer Management Unit 48 sprawls across nearly 99 miles of the eastern Upper Peninsula, low-relief glaciated northwoods where success rides on reading water and cover rather than climbing. This is one of the wettest hunting landscapes in the state: the floor sits near 600 feet along the Lake Superior shore, interior plains ride 700 to 850 feet, and rivers like the Manistique, Fox, and Tahquamenon force deer onto ridges, old grades, and dry fingers between the swamps. Our data pack breaks it all down: 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 into 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.
