DNR establishes new deer blind erection date

LANSING, MI (AP)--   The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has moved up when deer hunters can place ground blinds on public land. 

The department announced Friday that the blinds can now be placed starting on September 1st. Previously, hunters had to wait until November 5th.

Officials say the rule now is consistent with those for placing raised platforms, or tree stands.

The change was adopted last month at a Natural Resources Commission meeting.
