Hunting Hours

    Below is a map of the 2008-2009 hunting hour time zones. Actual legal hunting hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset) for Time Zone A are listed in the Hunting Hours Table.
    To determine the opening (a.m.) and closing (p.m.) time for any day in another zone, add the minutes shown below to the times listed in the Time Zone A Hunting Hours Table.
    The hunting hour listed in the table reflects Eastern Standard Time, with an adjustment for daylight-saving time. If you are hunting in Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson or Menominee counties (Central Standard Time), you must make an additional adjustment to the printed time by subtracting one hour.

Exceptions: Woodcock hunting hours are sunrise to sunset. Spring turkey hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to one half hour before sunset. Waterfowl hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. See Fur Harvester Informationfor rules about hunting raccoon, fox, coyote and opossum at night.
