Firearm deer season runs November 15- 30, and tens of thousands of Michigan residents will participate. The DNR has a few reminders for those who are hunting.
- Wear hunter orange.
- A deer or deer combo license can be purchased at a license agent or online at E-License.
- Be aware of any antler point restrictions that may be in effect where you are hunting and understand deer license types.
- Be aware of the baiting and feeding rules and restrictions for deer in Michigan.
- Bring your deer to a DNR check station and pick up one of the DNR's deer cooperator patches. Bovine tuberculosis is still a major concern in the northeastern Lower Peninsula deer herd, bring your deer to a check station if you hunt in DMU 487.
- Due to chronic wasting disease there is a mandatory deer registration in the core CWD area which includes 17 townships in the southern lower Peninsula. michigan.gov
