At its recent meeting, the Michigan Natural Resources Commission unanimously opposed two one-buck license options that were presented. The first option was to limit hunters to taking only one buck in the Upper Peninsula only. The second option was to limit hunters to taking just one buck statewide.
"Preliminary survey results indicated that a strong majority of hunters are not interested in having the opportunity to harvest only one buck," said Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division Chief Bill Moritz. "The NRC heard from many individuals that they wanted to maintain their recreational opportunities. The one buck option may have hindered that option."
For the 2007 deer hunting season, the combination license will continue to be available. The combination license contains two kill tags. One tag allows the harvesting of any antlered deer and the second kill tag allows the harvesting of a second antlered deer with at least four antler points on one side.
