Craig 2506 I see in todays paper that Gratiot has been added to the counties with CWD. I hunt private land in Mecosta county and have let several small bucks got and have seen only smallish does. On opener I didn't see a deer until 4pm. A friends son shot a nice 8 point two nights ago and another one in Iron county is tagged out with a nice big 6 and a 9.
I like the no baiting but IMHO Michigan needs to get rid of the youth season at least for bucks and shorten the archery season. Make a deer license $50 with one buck tag and they could stipulate 4 pts on one side wouldn't hurt my feelings and one doe tag. They want the does shot but at $20 per tag I only need one.
