LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Opening day of firearm deer hunting season in Michigan could be considered a statewide holiday. As Wednesday, November 15 approaches, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is issuing reminders as hunters make their way into the woods.
Just like last year, all harvested deer must be reported. Officials say the best way to report the kill is to use the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish app.
