Fisherman08 6 Report post Posted June 28, 2016 With the new release of Surplus/Additional Anterless Deer Tag Quota's being recieved in the mail this week. I am very curious to know why all of a sudden the Surplus tags for WMU 13 has dropped dramatically from 2500 last year to 2000 this year. Where is the reasoning behind this now by the MNR. No proven numbers have been given by the Bow only hunt in the city of Thunder Bay. Nothing has been posted for their findings in the whole WMU 13 unit. And the last few winters have been not been severe enough to decrease the deer populations..... VERY CURIOUS! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayfishin 63 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 Two tough winters prior to last year definitely brought the rural deer populations numbers down. Maybe be there reasoning? Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely have noticed a decline in the deer populations in areas of 13 so I can't say I have an issue with a 500 tag decrease. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thefishleclair 175 Report post Posted July 13, 2016 I agree with the drop. They pit it in place due to an explosion of deer. Now we still see allot but I remember when I started hunting deer. The numbers were way less! Quote Grumpas' Baits Check it out on FB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
