Hoosier Buck Harvest Drops
- Details
By Louie Stout
New regulations may have led Indiana to a record deer harvest last fall, but statistics reveal the state’s deer herd, especially bucks, may be declining.
Statewide hunters took advantage of regulation changes and extra hunting dates to bag a record 136,248 deer during the 2012 season, a 6 percent increase over 2011 and topped the previous record of 134,004 deer set in 2010.
“We started down the path to strategically reduce the deer herd in order to balance the ecological, recreational, and economic needs of Indiana citizens,” said Mitch Marcus, wildlife chief for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife, in a press release. “We initiated several regulation changes to make it easier to take antlerless deer. It appears the regulations may be working.”

The Michigan DNR Southern Lake Michigan Management Unit today announced fishery management actions and activities for the 2013-2014 angling season. These include fish stocking, habitat rehabilitation projects, creel census, fish community surveys and angler access programs.
“These management updates are provided as a means to notify anglers and the public of changes in management and to make lake and stream property owners aware of our survey activities,” said Jay Wesley, Southern Lake Michigan Unit manager. “We also value and encourage public input regarding our management actions and activities.”
The Southern Lake Michigan Management Unit covers the Grand, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph and Galien river watersheds and all the lakes and streams within that area. Each year, fisheries biologists and technicians evaluate management options on various water bodies in order to achieve increased fishery benefits. Fish stocking actions are reviewed at least every six years based on fish community or creel surveys. Counties with specific management actions and waters that are planned for surveys in 2013 are listed below.
