Your Michigan guide to Deer Widows Weekend

During Michigan’s deer hunting season, hunters flock to all parts of the state in hopes of nabbing the perfect deer for sport or to fill the family freezer with venison … But as family and friends head into the woods, Michiganders who don’t hunt can look to save a few bucks – by hunting for bargains from Michigan retailers! 

Holiday season is right around the corner, and hunting season is a great time to get a head start thanks to “Deer Widows Weekend” events located across the state!
