The Michigan DNR will make approximately the same number of public-land antlerless deer licenses available to hunters this fall as last.
Private-land licenses, however, will decrease by about 25 percent, most significantly in southern Michigan.
The DNR will make 70,550 licenses available for public land, down slightly from last years 70,750. A total of 483,400 private-land licenses will be available, down from 637,900 in the 2012 season.
An overall decrease in antlerless licenses was recommended in many deer management units (DMUs) in anticipation of increased adult deer mortality and low fawn recruitment due to the prolonged winter, said DNR deer and elk program leader Brent Rudolph.
