Default MDNR Recommends the Repeal of Antler Restrictions

After 5 years of AR, Mich. DNR is recommending that due to insufficient hunters and landowner support in DMU 118, that AR be discontinued. A survey conducted showed that only 57% of the hunters that hunted that DMU,supported continuing the antler restrictions and by law they need 66% approval.

So, will it be discontinued for just that one area or for the whole state?

DMU 118 was the only DMU that had AR in Mich. Only two states have statewide AR , Miss. and Ark. In Miss. the buck harvest decreased by 20% and rack sizes are decreasing in areas with the best soils. In Ark. buck harvests declined by 40% and BB have to be tagged as antlered buck.

Is there a link to the information about Michigan. Like vtbuck... I checked the MDNR and couldn't find anything about this.

hey, i may be wrong, but it sure looks like there is more than one area there that has AR's. i hate the whole idea of them, but to fight them, we have to tell the whole truth and not stoop to their level, deaddeer.
