Michigan hunters should be aware of lingering damage from March storm

With hunting seasons right on the doorstep, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is reminding sportsmen that much of the northern Lower Peninsula was affected by the early spring ice storm that toppled trees and closed roads.
“If people haven’t been in the area that’s impacted by the ice storm it’s going to look different and it’s going to be different,” said Kerry Heckman, with the DNR’s Forest Resources Division. “There’s a lot of work that has been done and a lot of work still to be done.”

That’s a success rate of about 39%.
“We didn’t get the antlerless harvest over the buck harvest,” Brent Rudolph, the DNR’s deer, elk and moose specialist told Michigan Outdoor News. “We are still killing more bucks than does so there’s room to improve.”
