The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced the approval of a three-year duration for deer hunting regulations. These regulations, which will be in effect for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 hunting seasons, include several updates designed to enhance deer hunting opportunities while addressing challenges facing Michigan’s hunter base.
The approved regulations feature changes like reinstating the four-point antler point restriction on the restricted tag of the deer combo license in 19 Lower Peninsula counties and allowing multiple antlerless deer harvests during the Liberty Hunt.
Additionally, the Upper Peninsula Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance Zone has been removed, while proposals to allow crossbows in the late archery season and reinstate antlerless harvest opportunities in certain northern deer management units were rejected.
