This week I sit down with Josh Arbogast in the Chilli Buck Lounge for a face-to-face conversation that every Michigan deer hunter needs to hear.

Josh has been leading the charge when it comes to pushing for real change in Michigan’s deer herd, and the timing of this episode couldn’t be more important. On April 8th, the Michigan NRC will be holding a meeting and the goal is simple: pack the room with as many Michigan deer hunters as possible and make our voices heard.

We break down everything on the table right now—what a potential one-buck rule could look like statewide, moving gun season back, returning muzzleloader season to its original weapon restrictions, and going back to county-wide DMU doe harvest. We also dive into the idea of APR regulations and how shifting and shortening gun season could have a major impact on the future of Michigan whitetails.

Josh brings a ton of data and statistics to this conversation numbers that are honestly pretty staggering and will make you think, no matter where you stand on these changes.

Whether you’re for it, against it, or somewhere in the middle, this is a conversation you need to hear. More importantly, it’s one you need to act on.

Show up. Be heard. The future of Michigan deer hunting depends on it.
