This Could Change Deer Hunting in Michigan Forever | HUNTR #312

Michigan deer hunting could be on the verge of major change—and most hunters have no idea what’s coming. Josh Arbagost joins the show to push for key regulation changes, and why he believes they’re necessary to fix the future of the herd and hunting in Michigan. With the April 8th NRC meeting approaching, this isn’t just talk anymore—it’s a real chance to influence what happens next. The question is... will hunters step up when it actually matters? Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
