History
Michigan’s bobcats are among the most elusive predators moving through our forests, swamps, and brushlands. Their story is one of resilience, careful management, and the ongoing need for habitat conservation valued by hunters, trappers, and conservationists alike.
If you have ever seen a deer with velveted antlers at strange times of the year, it may have been a rare sighting of an antlered doe. Unusual circumstances like this allow for the antlered and antlerless deer tags to still apply as imposed by the Michigan DNR deer regulations, as it can be difficult to identify a doe from a buck while in the field, aside from the presence of antlers. Often, hunters who tag an antlered doe do not find out it is a female until they go to field dress their kill.
