Antlerless deer application results now available; remaining licenses
The Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters to check their antlerless deer drawing results and availability of remaining licenses at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings. Successful applicants may purchase their licenses online at E-license, at any authorized license agent or at a DNR Customer Service Center.
All leftover public- and private-land antlerless deer licenses will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Thursday, Sept. 11, at 10 a.m. EDT. Licenses will be sold until quotas are met. When purchasing a license online via E-license, note that all available hunts will be listed on one page. Public-land hunts are listed first with hunt numbers that begin with a 1, followed by private-land hunts, which begin with a 2. Hunts will be removed from the list when they are sold out. License purchasers should scroll down until they find the hunt they wish to purchase.
For more information, see the 2014 Antlerless Deer Hunting Digest, which can be found at local license agents or online at www.michigan.gov/dnrdigests. Read more
You would be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t agree with this point…Coyotes are plentiful and their numbers are up almost everywhere. Their boom in population east of the Mississippi in the last 40 years is very impressive. With everyone seeing more coyotes when they are outdoors, they catch the blame for a lot of issues facing small game, especially whitetail fawn recruitment. Like it or not the song dogs are here to stay. You can kill as many as possible on your piece of property and definitely “help the cause” when it comes to protecting fawns, but there will always be coyotes around. The argument has been made that you need a few around to keep the other small predators in check and there is some good research that supports this claim. However no one likes the idea of coyotes managing their deer herd for them. While coyotes may not have a major impact on the overall deer population of a given county or state, they can definitely effect small pockets and that might be your property. Let’s look at a few things that can be done to increase fawn survival rates. 
The AAMINI allows shooters to find their comfort zone in every firing position. With a fully click-adjustable cheek weld and length of pull allowing a perfect fit to the shooter for superior comfort and control, the AAMINI boasts it’s a game changer with the best ergonomics available for the MINI-14/30 platform.
