Deer hunters are invited to join the Michigan DNR and the Upper Peninsula Deer Advisory Team (UPDAT) for an open house Thursday, Feb. 6, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Bay de Noc Community College’s Heirman Center, Room 952, in Escanaba.
The open house will include a short presentation on regional deer management, changes to the deer hunting license structure for 2014, and UPDAT proposals for future buck regulations, followed by a question and answer session and the opportunity to visit with local UPDAT members and DNR biologists.
The information presented at the open house will also be available online at www.michigan.gov/deer after Feb. 6.
The UPDAT is a group of citizens who work with the DNR Wildlife Division to provide input from local communities on regional deer management issues.
Each region of the state – the U.P., northern Lower Peninsula and southern Lower Peninsula – has its own Deer Advisory Team. Similar open houses will be held in the northern and southern Lower Peninsula in the future when the Deer Advisory Teams for those regions have proposals ready to share with the public.
For more information, contact DNR deer program biologist Ashley Autenrieth at 989-732-3541 or the DNR’s Wildlife Division at dnr-wildlife@michigan.gov.
