Don't let this happen in your state
Anybody wants to know why we have very big few deer in Northen LP and UP anymore here is why.
2006 Harvest Data Southern LP B 52% D 48% Northern LP B 66% D 33% UP B 70 D 30% Just think we are getting better;) EDIT: Forgot we count Buttons as does, so numbers are a little off. About 18 to 20% of the antler harvest are BB. |

Yea ... it's to bad that alot of Michigan hunters don't practice Q.D.M. and let the young bucksgo so they grow.

What the Heck is ODM :D Do you mean the band;)
We are having a good discussion on the MI forum on baiting. All the old timers in that area claim as soon as baiting became legal the big bucks started to vanish. |
RE: Don't let this happen in your state
Yea it's a shame what has happened to that state. I was just in the UP ripping up the atv trails. It's beautiful, with lots of big woods, there should be deer like crazy. But in 3 days, I saw one :(. Did have a nice black bear right in front of me on the trail, that was cool.
Is there anything in the works todo something about it!? |

killing bucks have NO IMPACT on the deer herd growing
if you're concerned about big antlers and nothing else, thats a different story obviously, but don't your state have some of the top B&C and P&Y records ? aren't those books littered with trophies from your state ? come down south, where a 120" buck is a dandy, maybe you'll appreciate what you got a bit more |
