Michigan deer expert makes case to thin antlerless population

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Michigan, National Hunting, Opinion /

Scientists and bureaucrats tend to think they hold the key to the future of things they regulate or study. That’s why an “open letter” penned by Chad Stewart, who might be described as some of both, seems out of character for the deer, elk and moose management specialist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The letter levels with the apex predator of deer in Michigan, urging hunters to kill more does for the betterment of the herd. It comes across not as a mandate from a high perch, but more as an adjuration on behalf of deer themselves. Why the plea? Because policy changes haven’t worked where they are most needed.
