Antlerless deer license applications on sale through Aug. 15

The Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the application period for antlerless deer licenses is now open and runs through Aug. 15.

Hunters may apply for one license in any open Deer Management Unit (DMU) statewide; a nonrefundable $5 fee is charged at the time of application. Hunters may choose to apply for either one private-land or one public-land license online at E-License or at any authorized license agent or DNR Customer Service Center. Young hunters, ages 9-16, can 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. 26 to purchase this license.

Any leftover antlerless deer licenses not issued in the drawing will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. EDT, until license quotas are met.

Antlerless deer license quotas for each DMU can be found at www.michigan.gov/deer.

Drawing results and leftover license availability may be viewed at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings beginning Sept. 2.

Hunters also are reminded that chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been confirmed in a free-ranging deer in Michigan. CWD is a fatal neurological disease that affects white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk and moose. A CWD Management Zone has been created for Clinton, Ingham and Shiawassee counties. DMU 333 was created for the Core CWD Area and encompasses those townships (Lansing, Meridian, Williamstown, Delhi, Alaiedon and Wheatfield in Ingham County; DeWitt and Bath in Clinton County, and Woodhull in Shiawassee County) closest to where the CWD-positive deer was located. In DMU 333 there is an unlimited antlerless deer license quota, and the deer license or deer combo licenses may be used to harvest antlerless or antlered deer within DMU 333 during firearm and muzzleloading seasons.

Velocity Triggers™ launches with drop-in ar trigger assembly

One trigger assembly that fits all AR platforms.

Phoenix, AZ– Velocity Triggers™ has launched its brand with an American made, drop-in trigger assembly that will fit all AR platforms. The initial product offering includes single stage trigger assemblies with either a traditional curved trigger or a tactical straight trigger, both of which are available in 3, 4, or 4 ½ pound pull weight. All of the major parts of the trigger assembly go through extensive processes to insure a great final product.

The hammer, trigger and disconnect are cut from tool steel with a Wire EDM process, followed by heat treating for extended life. Then the hammer and disconnect are treated with Robar’s™ NP3® metal finish. NP3® is an electroless nickel based finish that is very corrosion resistant and reduces friction. The housings are machined from 6061T6 billet aluminum and then green anodized for easy cleaning and reduced corrosion. Each trigger goes through a black oxide process and then is hand polished for a smooth finish. The trigger assemblies are then built and individually tested for pull weight and sear engagement.
