The Michigan DNR released their outlook for hunting opportunities. Heres what biologists had to say about game animals available this fall and winter:
Season: Bear licenses are issued, by lottery, for specific time periods and geographical areas. Hunting on the mainland in the Upper Peninsula runs from Sept. 10-Oct. 26. On Drummond Island, the season is Sept. 10-Oct. 21. In the northern Lower Peninsula, the Red Oak Management Unit is open Sept. 21-29 and again -- but this time for bow and arrow only Oct. 5-11. The north area of the Baldwin unit opens Sept. 14; the remainder of the unit opens Sept. 19, and the season runs through Sept. 29. The Gladwin unit is open Sept. 21-29.
Outlook: Bear hunting has always been good in Michigan, though recent population estimates indicate there are fewer than originally thought. As a result, the number of available licenses this fall has been cut about 30 percent statewide, to 7,991, with a goal of stabilizing the populations. Biologists expect a harvest in the 1,400 range.
Attention fall salmon anglers: If its missing an adipose fin, please turn it in.
The missing fin identifies king salmon that are part of a multi-state research project to study the movement of the species in Lake Michigan.
The adipose fin is a small fin on top and near the fishs tail.
