Trophy Bucks From This Year's Hunt May Hurt Deer Herd In Long Run

If you didn’t bag a buck, don’t worry, you weren’t alone.

Michigan’s firearms deer season wrapped up Monday night at sunset.

Looking at the early numbers, DNR Biologist Brian Roell says that firearm season was very poor when they compared it to the last ten seasons.

The Marquette DNR Check Station was the only U.P. check station that saw more deer this year than last year.

Many of the animals that were brought in were bigger and older than usual, but getting those trophies this year may lead to even more problems down the road.

Deer hunting season is not over.

Muzzleloading season runs from December 4th-13th here in the U.P.

Archery season continues through January 1st.
