Michigan’s Manitou Island access difficult for deer hunters this fall

A temporary dock built by the National Park Service but described as unfit for ferry boat docking is causing havoc for Michigan hunters hoping to harvest deer on North Manitou Island this fall.
While the issue of safety when tied to the 100-foot dock extension remains unsettled – a ferry boat captain with 31 years of experience doesn’t want to put passengers in jeopardy while NPS engineers in Denver are sticking by their design – would-be hunters who bought permits for the island’s coveted eight-day wilderness hunt scrambled to find alternative transpiration.
