This is more the reason for the gun and bow hunt to lower the numbers of wildlife in there natural habitat. When wildlife becomes too populated , they are accessible to disease that is transmitted from one animal to another in one way or another. It is important for us to maintain good numbers in our herds or flocks and to redistribute over populated herds/flocks to less populated areas to deter transmission of disease and such that can and will if left unchecked, Wipe out large herds/flocks of our wildlife. It is our responsibility to maintain smaller numbers of healthy animals. This sort of thing happened in Missouri several years ago. (they called it Black tongue) But several hundred deer state wide were found dead around alot of water sources. This is largely because of overly populated herds and can be transmitted by flies, ticks , body fluids, etc. Nature if left unchecked will eventually take care of its own. Situations like this can be prevented by closely monitoring the herds and keep the population to a healthy and safe level.

sometimes hunting is best under dark clouds… My girls are going out for their very first hunts and it ain’t gonna rain on their parade. Let’s hope that the DNR will get on top of these issues and with the help of Michigan’s outdoors men and women, resolve them.
