Michigan DNR Director Keith Creagh signed an emergency order this week that decreases antlerless license purchase limits for deer management units (DMUs) where the most EHD-related die-offs have occurred. Unfortunately, this has been a common site in Michiana ponds, swamps, creeks and lakes. EHD inflicted deer often seek comfort in water to offset high fevers they suffer while battling the deadly virus. (Michigan DNR photo)

Effective immediately, the purchase limit for DMU 486 is five private land antlerless deer hunting licenses per hunter. Also effective immediately, the public antlerless license purchase limit per hunter is two for each of the following DMUs: 012 (Branch), 034 (Ionia), 039 (Kalamazoo), 041 (Kent), 044 (Lapeer), 076 (Sanilac), 078 (Shiawassee), 079 (Tuscola) and 080 (Van Buren).

If you need an Indiana license for the weekend, you better buy it now.

The portion of the Indiana DNR website (www.state.in.us/dnr) through which licenses are purchased will be down for emergency repair from 2 a.m. (EST) Saturday to 11:59 p.m. (EST) Sunday, Nov. 10-11. During this time, license purchases will not be available online or at any license retailer.

Deer hunters can also save themselves time today and avoid the last-minute rush by purchasing their firearms season license. The deer firearms season starts Nov. 17.

The CheckIN Game system also is unavailable this weekend. In order to check game, hunters will need to visit a check station.
