Yep, as long as you buy the combo license. If you just buy the regular license, you only get one buck tag.

Evening update. Saw a single mature doe in the bottom 100-ish yards away, about where I expected. Wind just wasn’t right to push in where I would’ve liked to have gotten to. My dad met me at camp, and we have our tarp system set up for the rain that’s about to start. Think we may fire up the black stone and make some grub before we hit the hay. With a lot of rain overnight and forecasted to last until 10 tomorrow morning, I’m gonna sleep off the beers drank, then set up tomorrow evening for my last bow hunt of the trip and hopefully leave my shit in the tree for rifle opener the following morning. Pretty high hopes based on the number of deer I’ve seen, number of encounters that would’ve ended poorly for the deer if I had a rifle in hand and lack of people dickin’ around. Plus my dad brought a fuck ton of food and a space heater so I won’t see my breath when I wake up in the morning 
I’ll add some pics when I have light in the morning of our “Up North Deer Camp”. It’s a pretty sweet setup for a pair of drunk idiots. May try to get my buck skinned and deboned tomorrow morning depending on what time I roll out of bed. My dad said he’d like to watch since he’s always had someone process his deer, and ya can’t pass up an opportunity to teach your ole man something.
Double bacon burgers and a salad on the side for dinner 
Keep going strong man, good stuff and congrats. Have fun showing dad the ropes on processing, hopefully he'll be a convert.
I promise, if I packed the food, salad wouldn’t have been on my list. I ate 1 granola bar all day, so I was about ready to start eating bark off the treesWho eats salad at deer camp?

Good old fashioned northern Michigan deer camp right there!! Been a long long time for that, last time would have been in the western UP. Have you seen many camps set up around your area there?? I often wonder if opening day still is as big of a 'holiday' as it used to be up there.
I haven’t seen anyone camping yet. There’s has definitely been an increase in road traffic, and both bars in town had 40+ trucks between the 2 of them. I’d imagine it’s gonna be a pretty busy opening day since it’s on a Friday this year. It’s relatively easy to get away from the pressure considering the piece I shot my buck on is 24,000 acres, and you can walk 7 miles east to west and not cross private and only a handful of dirt 2 tracks. Hunting here is hard considering in just one county alone here there is 500,000+ acres of public.
