Default Early Michigan Anterless

A few counties have a anterless doe season that runs from Sept 18-22nd here in Michigan. I hunt 100 acres private property in Allegan county which is one of the counties available for the hunt. Now the statewide opener is Oct 1st. So my question is... is it worth it hitting the stand a week early to try to put some meat in the freezer? Will it mess with the deer at all?

What is your opinion and what would you do? hunt it, or heck just wait untill the opener

An early firearm antlerless deer hunting season will take place on private land in some Lower Peninsula DMUs from Sept. 18 through Sept. 22, 2008. The DMUs that will be open are shaded on the map below. You must possess a valid private land antlerless deer license or DMA permit issued for the DMU in which you are hunting to take a deer during this season. You also must have permission from the landowner or leaseholder before hunting on private land, and the telephone number of the private landowner is required to acquire a private land antlerless deer license. You may not bait for deer during the early firearm antlerless deer hunting season. All firearm hunters must be 12 or older and must wear Hunter Orange. Youths 10 and 11 are restricted to archery-only hunting, and must possess a private land antlerlesslicense or DMA permit and must wear Hunter Orange. Archery and junior archery deer licenses are not valid for this hunt.

i would take carp masters post and what is in the guide to mean that you can hunt any weapon provided you have the permit for early season which is different than the combo, archery or rifle. If you are unclear you can go to www.michigan.gov/dnr and click on ask dnr. there you can search tons of questions or ask your own. dnr is good about responding with an answer in about 2 or 3 days sometimes even same day if you ask early enough.
