Earn A Buck Program to be expanded 21-35
The Natural Resources Board approves an expansion of the contentious Earn a Buck Program for the fall deer hunt and a lead game manager says it's needed to keep cutting the herd down to size.
The board voted unanimously in approving the recommendation of the DNR to expand the program from 21 zones last year to 35 and impose it in all chronic wasting disease zones.
Earn a Buck requires hunters to kill an antlerless deer before they can take a buck.
