Brian Watson with a nice buck.Brian Watson with a nice buck.It could have been an unfortunate déjà vu for Brian Watson last October when a 10-point buck came crashing through the brush beneath his tree stand.

The Niles insurance agent left work early that day to do a little “field work” in a private, Cass County woods. It’s something he does 2-3 times a week during the deer season.

He climbed into his tree stand, and as he reached for the rope to pull up his bow that was still on the ground, he heard the noise.

“A nice buck came in grunting and smelling the ground not 15 feet from me,” Watson recalled. “I froze.”

In all likelihood, Michigan bass anglers will be given the opportunity to fish for bass year-round next year, but the harvest season will remain pretty much the same.

The trouble is, we won’t know until early next April when the Natural Resources Commission casts the deciding vote.

The Future of Michigan bass regs have been up in the air all year.

Currently, the state offers a catch-and-release only season that opens the last Saturday in April and runs until its harvest season opens Memorial Day weekend in late May.

Anglers have pushed hard for a more liberal season so the DNR decided to open it up for discussion last summer. It canvassed anglers to determine what kind of changes they’d like to see. It listed four options and asked anglers which ones they could support.
