+1. Pics or it didn't happen, as they say. ;)

Earlier this month I spent 2 nights camped out in the woods by the Atlanta, MI ATV trails with 2 of my friends. We were overnight camping on our ATVs, a "double overnighter" in the elk capital of Michigan. There were elk bugling into the wee hours of the morning both nights, and we heard them again when we got up.

All I could think about was venison, and how much meat there is on an elk compared to a whitetail deer. :P  It sounded like they were between us and the road 1/4 mile away, but sound travels so well in the woods, it could have been a lot farther away. Since I've been home home I heard things like a car stereo 2 houses away blasting so loud my windows were rattling at 1:30 in the morning.

From Wikipedia - Atlanta is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the county seat of Montmorency County. The community had a population of 720 at the 2020 census, down from 827 in 2010. Atlanta has been nicknamed the "Elk Capital of Michigan".

Atlanta is home to the annual Sno*Drift rally racing event. The event is currently the first Rally America National Rally Championship event of the season.


As of the census of 2000, the racial makeup was 98.41% White, 0.13% African American, 0.40% Native American, 0.40% Asian, and 0.66% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.40% of the population. It was nice and quiet when we rode through the town that only has one black person living in it. It's farther north than I want to move, but not by too much.

Oh, bull. Pic from Google Maps. They're extremely rare on the trails, but you never know what you're going to see during a ride. One time my friends saw a wolverine around the same area.

Michigan is the Wolverine State, but there’s been no verified sighting of a wild wolverine here since 2004. While scattered wolverines may have been located throughout Michigan, the state has not likely housed a breeding population of the species for 200 years. The scarcity of the animal is now official, as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated the wolverine as an endangered species in the lower 48 U.S. states. The vicious animal that resembles a large weasel has been pushed as far west as the Rocky Mountains, according to the Associated Press.
