Group Proposes New Deer Antler Restriction
- Details
The Michigan DNR will conduct informational meetings this month regarding new deer antler point restriction (APR) proposals.
A group known as the Lower Peninsula Deer Management Initiative (LPDMI) has submitted two different APR proposals to be considered for implementation starting with the 2014 deer season. Antlerless deer regulations within the proposed areas would continue to be determined annually by the DNR.
One of those impacts southern Michigan. It calls for implementing a four-point APR for all of Hunting and Trapping Zone 3 in southern Michigan.
The APR would not apply to individuals hunting with an apprentice hunting license or mentored youth hunting license or youth hunters during a designated youth season. This proposal seeks to require that all other antlered deer harvested in the area have at least four antler points on one side.
The next southern Michigan meeting will be June 13 at Decatur Middle School cafeteria, 405 N. Phelps St., Decatur, MI 49045. Doors will open at 6:30 pm, the meeting will run from 7 to 8 p.m., and the building must be cleared by 8:30 p.m.
