DMU 487 Public Meeting on DNRE antler restrictions proposal

DNRE to Hold Information Meetings about Deer Hunting Regulations in DMU 487 The Department of Natural Resources and Environment will hold a pair of meetings to provide information regarding recently proposed antler restrictions for deer hunters in Deer Management Unit (DMU) 487. Meetings are scheduled for: -- June 22, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Harrisville Township Hall, 114 S. Poor Farm Rd. (located off of M-72, two miles west of Harrisville), and -- June 23, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Alpena Civic Center, 133 Johnson St., Alpena. Meetings will be attended by both local and Lansing wildlife officials. Details regarding the proposal and anticipated results will be provided and a question and answer period will follow. Time will be reserved to accommodate those interested in having one-on-one or small group discussions with DNRE staff. The proposal - which calls for a minimum of three antler points on at least one side for a buck to be legal - is on the Natural Resources Commission's agenda for action in July. DMU 487 includes the six counties of Presque Isle, Montmorency, Alpena, Oscoda, Alcona and Iosco, where bovine tuberculosis (TB) in the deer herd is most prevalent and of greatest concern. "The Department has been making strides towards TB eradication by reducing deer numbers and the concentration of deer at baiting and feeding locations for the past 15 years," said DNRE Wildlife Veterinarian Steve Schmitt. "But, while the long-range trends have reflected reductions in deer numbers and TB, progress has stalled over the last five or more years." "We're aiming to take regulations further than past approaches to simply provide ample opportunity for hunters to take does," said Brent Rudolph, DNRE Deer and Elk Program leader. "The proposal is intended to work in conjunction with a recently adopted regulation change - allowing antlerless deer to be taken under a firearm or combination license in the regular firearm or muzzleloader seasons in that area - to direct harvest towards those segments of the deer population that will aid the most in TB eradication efforts." The DNRE is committed to the conservation, protection, management and accessible use of the state's environment, natural resources and related economic interests for current and future generations.
