A survey was completed to determine whether hunters supported a study to investigate the effects of mandatory antler point restrictions (i.e., four points on a side) on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) among the deer in the 5 county Core CWD Area (Ionia, Kent, Mecosta, Montcalm, and Newaygo counties). About 63% of the people hunting deer in the 5-county Core CWD Area supported the mandatory APRs and 68% supported conducting a study to investigate the effects of these mandatory APRs.
A survey of deer hunters was conducted following the 2018 hunting seasons to estimate hunter participation, harvest, and hunting effort. Estimates derived from harvest surveys and information from deer harvest check stations, trends in deer-vehicle collisions, population modeling, and input received from the public are used to monitor deer populations and establish harvest regulations.
