LANSING, MI— The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Natural Resources Commission have approved deer hunting regulations for the next three years.

Officials say while many of the traditional regulations remain the same, some have changed. Participants in the Liberty Hunt can now take one buck or multiple antlerless deer, and the Upper Peninsula Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Zone has been removed. That means hunters in those parts of Delta, Dickinson, and Menominee counties can resume baiting and feeding practices.

Full summaries of approved deer regulations will be available closer to hunting season openers.
