Department game men regard
the additional harvest of deer as a
bonus to hunters certain to result
in better living conditions for remaining deer. They emphasize that
the estimated' extra kill is only
one-half the number that might
have been removed without harm
to the deer herd.
Although the shooting of does
and fawns is new to most Michigan
hunters, it is' accepted procedure
iu many other deer states, some
of which never had . a buck law.
The experience of these states is
that deer herds can continue to.
prosper even with annual one-deer
seasons.
Evidence from tracks in the
snow during the, last hours of
Michigan's season shows that
plenty of live deer remain to provide breeding stock for future harvests.
There was no significant Increase in the rate of gun accidents,
as shown by a comparison 'of
records for the first three and last
three days of hunting/ Predictions
based on the experience of other
states which regularly hunt buoks,
does and fawns were thus proved
correct.
