EAST LANSING, MI (WHTC) – The deer season is not going to be cancelled in the Upper Peninsula this year.
The Natural Resources Commission on Thursday agreed to limit hunting due to a sharp decline in the deer population in the U.P.
Specifics won’t be decided until June, but the commission had considered calling off the hunt altogether this year.
A Department of Natural Resources report says the population has fallen by 40-percent and the deer numbers in the U.P. are the lowest in 30 years.
