Rodney Clute, big game specialist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, offered his initial assessment of the firearm deer season which began on Thursday, Nov. 15. "It appears that the deer harvest is similar to the harvest of 2006," said Clute. "Across the state the number of hunters participating appears to be down from last year, but those participating report seeing more deer," he said. "Overall, antler development appears smaller than in 2006. This could be a product of reduced rainfall this year. Deer from those areas hardest hit by the drought appear to have smaller antlers," Clute said.</blockquote> From the Deer season looks a lot like 2006 in the Ironwood Daily Globe:
