Kalkaska County consists of several large marsh complexes as well as various smaller wetlands that function as deer yards during hard winters.

Mecum Swamp, Black Creek Swamp, Maham Swamp, and the Manistee River corridor are a few of the more noteworthy ones.

Recent population trends show that the deer population is steady to moderately growing. Most likely as a result of frequent mild winters and a slow but consistent drop in hunters or hunting effort.
