Opening day of Michigan's traditional firearm deer hunting season (Nov. 15) is right around the corner, and many hunters are busy scouting land, watching trail cameras and preparing equipment.
Michigan elk hunters would have longer harvest periods for the 2026-27 hunting cycle under draft proposals by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Fenwick’s legacy of innovation meets ice fishing with the new Eagle, HMG, Elite, and World Class ice rods—built to dominate winter waters with precision and style.
In an effort to gather public input on proposed regulations to expand Michigan's bass fishing seasons, the DNR has announced an online survey and public meetings throughout the state in July. For the past year the DNR's Fisheries Division has been working with the Warmwater Resources Steering Committee (a public advisory group) to discuss possible expansion of bass seasons.
The regulation expansion options being discussed would increase fishing and harvest seasons. Under all options, bass populations would still be protected and include a winter no-harvest season, 14-inch minimum size limit and daily possession limit.

After last season, most hunters welcome it. Some may even question whether it is enough.
