This week, Josh and Kevin, along with guests Jordan Hoover and Elliot Hubbard, discuss Michigan's deer hunting regulations, focusing on recent proposed changes including the move to a one-buck tag system and antler point restrictions.

-Jordan and Elliot explained the team's recommendation for a one-buck system statewide

- Amendments like antler point restrictions and changes to gun season dates.

- Various aspects of deer management, including challenges with antlerless harvest, processing barriers, and the role of crop damage permits

- Limited engagement of the general hunting population in antlerless harvest and potential solutions to increase participation in managing deer populations.

-Jordan emphasizes that while there are regional differences in deer management between the Upper Peninsula and other areas, the fundamental principles of deer biology and herd health apply statewide, including the need to balance sex ratios, maintain age diversity, and ensure herds stay within carrying capacity.

- They discuss both the benefits and concerns of proposed regulatory changes
