I’m definitely looking forward to it! Not really excited about the no open fires, but I’m sure we will get by.

 

[Wmmichael20]

Yup only place you can have an open fire is at the campground about a mile from the dock on the north east side of the island. I'll tell you this bring extra batteries for your headlamps cuz it gets flat out dark, as in can't see your hand in front of your face.

 

[DLawhead]

Yea, allready have it on my list...lots of batteries

The porkies would be fun could rent one of the Forrest service cabins, I hear you want to go early in October cuz of the weather that the deer kinda vacate the place and head to more fruitful places come November.

How did the hunt go? hopefully successful. I am planning on going in 2020. Getting everything together slowly.

Welcome. I have been looking into doing a trip like this also. This season I went down to Ohio public and tried to be as minimalist as possible. I was solo most of the time. I did have a friend meet me and hunt a couple days. This Manitou Island hunt looks interesting. How was the deer activity.
