756, I hope it is not from Hunters Choice regulations that were passed in DMU 487 which allows many younger bucks to disperse. Remember, they said that this was just an experiment. Where is Jim Sweeney when you need him.

Just a week ago, Mason of the DNR, said that it was just a cattle problem. And that is funny as there is a new study just out that shows the opposite .......it is the deer that are preventing getting rid of, it no ifs, ands ,or buts about it ! Now what is going on downstate is a extension of that, that as of now got so far out of hand because of it being spread by cattle transfer. However no other place it could have come from originally than from the deer in the TB zone! It sucks for hunters but until the DNR gets a handle on it , it will keep on affecting deer hunting!

756, please check your link. I typed in the entire link and it is not working. I think the page is gone  It was a short press release from the MDA that didn't say more much than my OP.
Here is an associated press report that says what the link said in its entirety
ROGERS CITY, Mich. — The state has established two potential high-risk areas for bovine tuberculosis in the northern Lower Peninsula.
The designation announced Monday by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development comes after the Department of Natural Resources confirmed one bovine TB positive free-ranging white-tailed deer in Presque Isle County and another in northwestern Montmorency County.
Cattle and bison farms in Presque Isle, Cheboygan and Otsego counties within a 10-mile radius around the Presque Isle County TB positive deer and those within a 10-mile radius around the Montmorency County deer will have to be tested for bovine TB in the next six months.
Bovine TB is a bacterial disease that can be fatal for cattle, deer and other animals. Michigan has been testing cattle for bovine TB since 1995.
