Private Land Antlerless License Sales Begin August 16

The Department of Natural Resources reminds deer hunters that private
land antlerless deer licenses will be sold on a first-come, first-served
basis beginning August 16, 2006 at 10:00am. Several important changes
have been made this year regarding private land antlerless deer
hunting.
Fewer private land antlerless deer licenses will be
available in many northern Michigan and Upper Peninsula Deer Management
Units (DMUs). Hunters may wish to purchase their licenses early.
Eighty-one of 98 DMUs will have 582,200 private land licenses
available.
To purchase a private land antlerless license for a
given DMU, hunters must provide the contact phone number of the private
landowner granting permission to deer hunt in the DMU. For zones 1 and
2, the landowner granting permission is required to have 40 or more
contiguous acres within the DMU.
Hunters will also be limited to a maximum of three private land
antlerless deer licenses, of which no more than two may be from zones 1
and 2 combined. The seven-county Bovine Tuberculosis area, referred to
as the Special Regulations Units in the 2006 Michigan Antlerless Deer
Hunting Guide, is exempt from the 40 acre requirement and the limit on
private land antlerless deer licenses.
Private land antlerless deer licenses may be purchased
at any of the 1,500 license dealers around the state or online at
www.michigan.gov/dnr.
The landowner phone number will not be printed on
private land licenses purchased on online, as it will be on licenses
purchased from a license agent. However, HUNTERS ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE
FOR CARRYING THE PHONE NUMBER WITH THEM WHILE HUNTING, AND MUST PROVIDE
THE NUMBER IF REQUESTED BY A CONSERVATION OFFICER.
For complete information on these and other changes,
refer to the 2006 Michigan Antlerless Deer Hunting Guide available at
license agents and online.
The DNR is committed to conservation, protection,
management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural resources for
current and future generations.
