New Michigan one-buck rule raises worries about hurting deer hunting

The new limits Michigan hunters will face on harvesting antlered deer next year could hurt the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' bottom line, causing further problems for a department already dealing with declining license sales and increasing costs. The new rules are intended to reverse deer population trends in Michigan, where some southeast Michigan communities have taken the controversial step of culling their abundant herds and where does often outnumber bucks. DNR officials projected their initial recommendation for enacting a so-called "one buck rule" would lead to an annual loss of at least $1 million in license sales revenue, according to a memo department officials sent to the Natural Resources Commission in March. In May, a commissioner speculated that potential losses could range upwards of $6 million, a sizeable chunk of the $27.6 million in revenue the DNR receives from selling single, combination and universal antlerless deer hunting licenses. "It won't be disastrous, but certainly this level will still be painful to absorb while we have to contend with the responsibility we have to try and manage our resources appropriately as well," said Brent Rudolph, DNR deer, elk and moose management specialist, in an interview with The Detroit News.

Forget Torch Lake, This Hidden Michigan Lake Is A Fishing And Boating Oasis Under 2 Hours From Traverse City

With more length, depth, and volume than any other inland lake in Michigan, Torch Lake is a major draw for good reason. But not everyone wants to follow the crowd — sometimes, hidden gems like Lake Saint Helen make for a great alternative. Located in Roscommon County, this uncrowded lake has a water surface of 2,400 acres with lots of opportunities for aquatic recreation. Days spent here involve casting a line, taking a boat out, and wading in the water. With an 18-mile-long shoreline and a variety of fish species to catch, this underrated destination is an oasis for anglers and boaters, spared from the congestion of popular tourist hubs. The activities are plentiful, and the vistas are memorable as well — as one visitor described: "It's picturesque and numbingly beautiful. I cried when we had to leave. The beauty is astounding."

Deer hunting season opens Sunday with bigger guns allowed

Deer hunters are switching from bows to guns this weekend as Michigan's statewide deer gun season opens Sunday, Nov. 15, with several changes. For the first time since World War II, hunters in southern Lower Michigan can now use high-powered rifles instead of shotguns or other lower-power firearms. The DNR eliminated the Limited Firearms Deer Zone in the Lower Peninsula, allowing the use of all legal firearms, including bottleneck cartridges, throughout the Lower Peninsula. Firearms larger than .22 rimfire are now permitted statewide. “Many people have their grandpa’s or great-grandpa's old gun that they've never been able to use. They want to use it at least once," said Erica Butler of Broadheads and Bullets, a gun and archery shop at Jonesville and Marshall Road in Coldwater Township. As of Tuesday, Nov. 10, Michigan hunters have harvested nearly 68,000 deer during archery season. Branch County bow hunters harvested 915 deer, 619 with antlers and 296 without, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Paul Danbury of Coldwater recently stopped by Broadheads and Bullets and said he plans to hunt with his dad. He started 11 years ago at age 12. “There's rarely a year that I go without getting at
