\"AHunters eager to get a start on Michigan\u2019s deer seasons will take to the woods this weekend, Sept. 21-22, for the early antlerless firearm season \u2013 open on private lands in select Lower Peninsula deer management units.

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re hunting in an area with high deer numbers or a disease-prevalent area, consider taking a doe this year to do your part in managing Michigan\u2019s deer herd,\u201d said Chad Stewart, DNR deer, elk and management specialist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stewart said that since does are the drivers of the deer population, doe harvest is key to herd management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to consider increasing doe harvest in areas with stable or over-populated deer numbers in order to keep deer numbers within healthy population ranges,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cThis is especially crucial in known disease areas where deer numbers often need to be lowered to help minimize the future spread of the disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

To participate in this season, hunters must have a private-land antlerless deer license issued for the DMU in which they are hunting, or a deer management assistance permit valid for that DMU. A deer kill tag issued under the mentored youth license must be used to harvest an antlerless deer during the antlerless-only seasons.<\/p>\n

Leftover antlerless deer licenses will be sold until license quotas are met in each DMU.\u00a0Check license availability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hunters in the\u00a0Chronic Wasting Disease Management Zone<\/a>\u00a0also have the option to purchase a 40% discounted private-land antlerless license, but this license will expire Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

Antlerless deer licenses can be purchased online or wherever licenses are sold.<\/p>\n

Hunters interested in having their deer checked can see DNR deer check station hours and availability at\u00a0Michigan.gov\/DeerCheck<\/a>. Anyone taking a deer in Alcona, Alpena, Cheboygan, Crawford, Iosco, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle or Roscommon counties is encouraged to submit their deer for bovine tuberculosis surveillance, too.<\/p>\n
