Hunting
Deer Season. Turkey Season. Bear Season. The calendar tells us when they begin, but cooler temperatures trigger our instincts. Whether we're camouflaged in tree stands or following our dogs' leads, thousands of acres of prime hunting grounds let us put our skills to the test. From big game to small, the thrill of the hunt is Pure Michigan.
Hunting in Michigan
There are thousands of acres of forests and undeveloped land in every area of Michigan—the perfect home for a wide variety of deer and many other game animals and birds. Find a favorite hunting area, and be sure to check with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources about hunting seasons and permit requirements.
