A temporary dock built by the National Park Service but described as unfit for ferry boat docking is causing havoc for Michigan hunters hoping to harvest deer on North Manitou Island this fall.
While the issue of safety when tied to the 100-foot dock extension remains unsettled – a ferry boat captain with 31 years of experience doesn’t want to put passengers in jeopardy while NPS engineers in Denver are sticking by their design – would-be hunters who bought permits for the island’s coveted eight-day wilderness hunt scrambled to find alternative transpiration.

There is a saying that goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” I credit the DNR for heeding that call when it comes to increasing the antlerless harvest in southern Michigan.
Last year, DNR Deer Specialist Chad Stewart sent out an open letter to all hunters, which ran in this publication (Oct. 23, 2023) and others. He explained that we weren’t taking enough does to control the size of the herd and encouraged hunters to make a concerted effort to harvest more antlerless deer, particularly in the southern part of the Lower Peninsula.
With the archery deer hunting season already underway and the firearm deer season opener just around the corner, here are some regional hunting forecast notes from Michigan Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division staffers.
