Hello, I’m Mike Adams the co-owner and co-founder of Up North Journal. My oldest son Mikey and I started Up North Journal back in April of 2007 as a weekly podcast that focused on what we did outdoors each week. It has grown into a medium sized media outlet that now has 11 staff members that includes everything from audio, video all the way to outdoor journals.
Our staff members contribute to this publication so you will see stories from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Iowa/Kansas and Alaska’s Arctic Circle! We love to hunt anything that the law allows and we also spend quite a bit of time on the water fishing whether it be frozen or of the liquid variety. You might see some of us at a local 3-D archery shoot or at some outdoor event at some of the local outdoor stores or you might even see us in the woods! Feel free to look around our website www.upnorthjournal.com and take a look around. Also make sure to stop by and visit our sponsors websites as well. Hope to see you in the woods or on the water!

Up North Journal offers a guide for keeping the excitement going with shed hunts. After deer season has passed, the first thing I do is put out trail cameras immediately before deer shed their antlers to see who all [...]
