Michigan Deer Unit 68

Unit 68 sits in the northern Lower Peninsula around Mio and Oscoda County, where the Au Sable River carves a green corridor through classic glacial outwash country. This is not mountain hunting: the floor rests near 900 to 1,000 feet along the river bottoms, rising only to 1,300 to 1,400 feet on the glacial moraines, so deer movement is dictated by cover and soil, not grade. You will read the interplay of jack pine plains, oak and aspen ridges holding mast, and the lowland cedar swamps that become critical thermal yards once snow pushes deer off the exposed plains. The 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.
