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.
In the southern Lower Peninsula, quotas for both public land and private land have been reduced. The DNR will make 30,150 licenses available for public land, down from 33,950 last year, and 345,500 private-land licenses, down from 519,650 in 2012.

Determining which deer license you need should be easier thanks to improvements to the DNRs online sport license finder.
The website, dnr.IN.gov/fishwild/6486.htm , has been improved to include all deer license types.
Deer season, which begins Sept. 15 with the opening of hunting in designated urban zones, may seem far away. But hunters can apply online beginning July 1 for certain reserved deer hunts, including state park deer reduction hunts, and must have a license to apply.
