Lack of Hunters Hurting Northern Michigan Businesses
Posted: 11/23/2009


After the first full week of firearm deer season, many Northern Michigan businesses are saying numbers are way down - as much as 65 percent in some places.

In Brethren in Manistee County, business owners say it's coming at a very bad time considering this tough economy.

The area was already hit hard by a slow summer, so many business owners say they were hopeful for a big boost from hunters this fall.
