Western Lower Peninsula of Michigan - 2014 Deer Season Update (11/3)
- Details
Michigan's new license structure requires hunters to choose at the time of purchase if they want the opportunity to harvest one or two antlered deer, and purchase either a single deer license (one kill tag) or a deer combo license (two kill tags).
Because this is the first year of the new structure, some hunters may have bought a single deer license without realizing they couldn't buy another antlered deer license later.

The Michigan DNR reminds hunters to check their antlerless deer drawing results and availability of remaining licenses at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings.
Successful applicants may purchase their licenses online at E-license, at any authorized license agent or at a DNR Customer Service Center.

Hunting from a tree stand is a popular way for hunters to enjoy their season, but nearly every year a Michiana hunter is seriously injured or killed falling out of a tree stand.
"DNR conservation officers responding to tree-stand falls see the same mistakes over and over – not using a harness or a haul line,” said Sgt. Tom Wanless, supervisor of the Michigan DNR hunter education program. “Nationally, 82 percent of hunters who fall from a tree stand are wearing a harness, but it’s not connected. And 86 percent of tree-stand falls take place during the climb up or down. Harnesses and haul lines save lives.”
