I agree with antler point restrictions but killing 4-pointers is still killing yearlings (1.5-year olds). Same with 6-pointers in the southern zone. The best we can do for now is to practice quality deer management voluntarily. I would also like to see only one buck per hunter per season. I think that will induce hunters to take better deer instead of shooting the first buck they see.

I’m in Ogemaw county. – Also, I’d like to see an antler restriction. Lets set it at 4pt or better so the young ones have a change to grow. Too many people are shooting spikes. If they want meat, let them shot a doe. – I’m glad we can bait again. that was an over reaction to restrict baiting for the entire LP – Purchasing a deer license can be a little confusion. Especially this year for my 10 year old who will be hunting the first time.
