DNR clarifies hunting license rules

By William Beacom

UNDATED – The Department of Natural Resources reminds Upper Peninsula deer hunters that they should carefully consider which deer hunting license they purchase this season. Hunters who opt to purchase a two-tag combination license will be subject to antler restrictions on both bucks. U.P. regulations changed this year to require that one buck sport a minimum of three-points-on-one-antler and the other buck has a minimum-of-four-points-on-one-antler. U.P. hunters who bought their combination license before June 12th are not subject to three-on-one-side restrictions. The restriction does not apply to the Lower Peninsula. The U.P. regulation limits hunters without a combination license to only one buck.
