Hunting is also very popular in the Hiawatha National Forest.  Sall-Mar Resort is just minutes away from some of the best hunting of ruffed grouse, rabbit, deer, bear, coyote, and bobcat.  We have a full line of shotgun and rifle shells, and maps of the Hiawatha National Forest.  For your convenience we also sell hunting licenses. 

September 15th sees the opening of small-game season.  Hunters take to the woods in search of the fast-flying ruffed grouse, or try to outsmart cotton-tail rabbits or snowshoe hares!

September also brings the start of the Michigan bear season.  Bear populations are very good in Michigan’s upper peninsula, and Delta County is home to many of the large bruins. 

October 1st is the much-awaited start of the archery deer season.  Large tracts of public land are located just minutes away from Sall-Mar, offering the archer a great opportunity for the mighty whitetail!

Fall is indeed a special time of the year as the changing of the seasons takes place.  Mother Nature’s beauty is in full swing, and the Forest provides opportunities for all.  Plan a fall vacation in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and experience the splendor first-hand!
