Now that's a deer season and bag limit I could easily learn to live with!! I'd be filling some freezer up if I lived there. The limit on Sitka blacktails used to be 7 up here; I think it's 4 or 5 now. It makes for interesting hunting as the local brown bears on Kodiak and other islands have learned that a gunshot is the dinner bell. You have to shoot your deer, run to it and get the innards out and haul ass for the barn before a bear comes a runnin' looking for a meal. A lot of hunters have had to drop their deer and let the bear have it. Sounds funny sitting here but I'm told it's not one bit amusing when you're standing there with a deer on your back confronted by a drooling brownie!
10yrs or so ago when you went to get doe tags in southeastern Michigan for $3ea they'd just ask you how many you wanted. There seemed to be no limit to how many you could have. I think now that Michigan has deer seasons from Sept 1? until February 1? Or is it Oct 1? Whatever, it's long and is divided into Bow, primitive firearm, firearm, late firearm.... My family there has only gotten one so far.
