Iron County Bird & Fowl Hunting
Woodcock, ruffed grouse, partridge, and a variety of duck species can all be found throughout the Iron County Area. With over 42,000 acres of lakes, area ducks and geese thrive. Dubbed one of the best ruffed grouse hunting areas by the Ruffed Grouse Society, the opportunities are endless within all of our forests. One of the major contributors to the area's success is the fact that half of our forests are full of aspen - the perfect habitat for grouse and woodcock.
Black Bear Hunting
The black bear population in Iron County is healthy and especially near Amasa, Michigan. Approximately 15,000 - 19,000 black bears (including cubs) roam the hardwood and conifer forests of northern Michigan.
