Michigan study shows no change in whitetail numbers due to APRs in CWD management zone
Published: , in Outdoor News
Antler point restrictions in the state’s chronic wasting disease zone in southwest Michigan did not significantly change the structure of the deer population, according to a recently concluded study conducted by the Department of Natural Resources in conjunction with Michigan State University.
The study, which employed 160 trail cameras across a number of townships to observe whitetailed deer, determined that the APRs shifted the harvest to adult deer slightly but did not significantly increase the antlerless deer harvest, which was one of the selling points of APR proponents.
