Bow Hunters Take To The Woods

Deer hunting season for bow hunters in Michigan is now underway.

Though the deer herd is not as strong as some past years, DNR Wildlife Biologist Brian Roell says bear are in good supply.

Multiple subsequent harsh winters have been hard on the deer population, likely resulting in a lower number of trophy-worthy bucks this year.

Five of the U.P.’s check stations will be open throughout archery deer season.

While getting your deer checked is optional, it can help DNR biologists learn more about the health of the herd.
