Michigan reminds hunters that the application period for antlerless deer licenses is now open through Aug. 15.

Hunters can apply for a quota-limited license online or at any authorized license agent. A nonrefundable $4 fee is charged at the time of application. Hunters may only apply for a single public-land or private-land license.

The quota for the new DMU 311 (Cass, Berrien and VanBuren counties) is 700 public and 14,000 private licenses. For DMU 339 (Kalamazoo and St. Joseph counties), the quota is 900 public land and 11,000 private land permits. For other counties, visit www.michgan.gov/deer.

Young hunters, ages 9-16, may purchase one junior antlerless deer license over the counter July 15 - Aug. 15. No application is required. A 9-year-old must be 10 by Sept. 15 to purchase this license.

Over-the-counter purchases will begin on Sept. 10 at 10 a.m. for licenses that are left over following the drawing and for private-land licenses in units for which applications are not accepted. Licenses will be sold until quotas are met. 

For more information, see the 2013 Antlerless Deer Hunting Digest, which can be found at local license agents or online at www.michigan.gov/dnrdigests.

Drawing results will be posted online beginning Sept. 5.
