I'm in Gaylord (About 60 miles south of mackinaw) I've lived here some years and this year the military activity from camp Grayling has increased insanely. We thought their training for a conflict in Iran or something.

Thank you everyone for your replies and information. I have an update of sorts. I have been out doing a little poking around today and found some things out.
First: The booms my wife and I have been hearing are caused by concussion rounds from shotguns used to deter deer from eating crops. I checked with the DNR and a few farms just west of me filed complaints of crop damage and were issued kill permits and some of the deterrent rounds as well as m-80 type explosives to scare the deer away. This was my original suspicion as I have used the same stuff before myself on our farm.
I did discover something very interesting today though. About 10 miles west of me is an old abandoned women's prison camp. Last fall I drove by it and it was still abandoned with fences falling apart and buildings crumbling. Today I went to drive by and the first thing I noticed was that the fence had been repaired and there was brand new shiny concertina wire around the entire perimeter. There was heavy equipment around the site as well as prisoners from the local SAI (special alternative incarceration) facility working around the camp. Now I am not going to jump to conclusions just yet. I am going to dig around some more first. For all I know they may be planning to use it as an extension of the current SAI facility or a new one all together. It is not incredibly large but it is in a secluded area. I will try to get over there and snap some photos of the place this week and I will post them here.

Reporting from NW Indiana -- a bit out of the realm, but still within distance.
I am seeing a substantial increase of military helis flying out of the NE to the West--which would be Illinois (within the past few days).
May be totally irrelevant to the OP's intention but I am just thinking this is 1) unusual given the chain of events, and 2) are there ties to Chicago of some sort?
