Region 6 Expands Three Special Deer Seasons

Sunday, January 18th, 2009 Posted in Deer Hunting News | 968 views No Comments »

Additional expansions of three special deer management seasons in FWP Region 6 have been approved by state officials. The special management seasons -- in a portion of the Milk River Valley, in the Sandhills area near Medicine Lake, and in the Big Dry Creek area near Jordan -- were put into place in mid-December to reduce crop damage on private lands and help bring deer numbers within state population objectives. To help increase harvests, any legal resident or non-resident hunter may now participate in any of the hunts by using unfilled deer licenses or permits from the 2008 general season. In addition, up to five more antlerless Deer B licenses can be purchased by each hunter. All hunters participating in the special seasons are required to report each deer they harvest ...

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources today announced a five-day elk hunt to be held Jan. 14-18. The DNR's management goal is a winter herd of approximately 800 to 900 elk in Montmorency, Cheboygan, Presque Isle and Otsego counties. Although elk numbers are close to that level, the herd has expanded outside the traditional four-county elk range and the animals are often found in Alpena, Alcona, Emmet, Charlevoix and Oscoda counties. "The January hunt is designed to address an increasing elk presence outside the traditional four-county elk range," said Tim Reis, Northeast Wildlife Management Unit supervisor. "We need to manage the distribution of elk in the outlying areas.” Wildlife Division Chief Russ Mason said the January hunt is the best way to address the issue. "Hunting has been an effective management tool ... Read more..
