Thirty-plus years ago I filmed (with film, not video, this was the old days) a depredation hunt on a big bean farm not too far from where he's going - you could only kill deer in specific fields, we went out at night and spotlighted over two hundred of them in four hours. Just one was in a legal field, though... wonder how they knew?
May not still be true, but when I was up there in the late Seventies just about all of the country's supply of white beans came from the Thumb.

Looking at the aerials, there seems to be cropland surrounding this farm. Looks like a mix of 40% crops 60% woods. Should be good from the looks of it.

I have hunted michigan only once and it was a blast. Everyone takes the day off and they have contests at all the local stores. There is also a ton of public land. Good luck. The deer I saw were huge in body mass
