LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Fewer people are getting deer hunting licenses in Michigan and the Department of Natural Resources says the deer population is growing as a result.
From 1995 to 2023, the DNR says the state lost around 200,000 deer hunters.
That is a 30% decline.
The DNR did a survey and found factors like an aging population, young people not getting into hunting, and not having access to private land are among the top factors.
