The State of Michigan has just announced another an extended whitetail season: Sept 18-22. It's the earliest that's ever been done; the season now extends from September through early January with occasional days off. The sole reason is overpopulation, leading to starvation and disease. This at a time when the number of hunters continues to decrease. It's simply disgraceful that we would put our esthetic sensibilities ahead of proven effective game management techniques.
