Deer Ranch
Although my family loves a photo by a giant statue of anything, my sons also loved going into the Deer Ranch to see the live deer. I think it was an extra $1 to purchase cups of food for the deer.
[Sarah, 04/07/2017]Giant Deer
Outside the Deer Ranch on US 2 is a giant deer jumping over a log. This is just east of the Mystery Spot and a few miles outside of downtown St. Ignace. The deer itself sits out front and is freely accessible, but to go into the Ranch itself and pet the real ones, you'll have to pay.
[Kait, 06/10/2012]North of St. Ignace, after the bridge aways heading up towards Munising, is a place called the Deer Ranch. It is marked by a giant statue of a deer jumping over a pile of logs. here you can pay to feed several variety of deer kept in large wooded pens. Gift Shop as well.
