This podcast discusses several key wildlife management issues in Michigan, with Jordan Hoover sharing updates on recent policy changes and ongoing challenges. The Deer Advisory Team (DAT), which replaced the previous DMI, successfully pushed through new regulations for 2025 including restoring archery doe tags in the Upper Peninsula's superior watershed and extending late archery season to January 1st. The discussion also covered controversial topics like wolf management and goose control, with Jordan explaining the complexities around wolf hunting regulations and expressing concerns about the DNR's goose gassing program. Jordan is working with legislators to make Natural Resources Commission meetings more accessible by proposing Saturday meetings and virtual participation options for UP residents, addressing the current system's financial barriers for working-class hunters to participate in policy discussions.

As always, THANK YOU for listening.
