Permits are issued at several managed areas through drawings held at area check stations. A $4 daily or $13 annual permit fee is charged for use of areas with (Fee) shown below. Permits can be purchased at check stations. The annual $13 permit is accepted at all state areas. Some early-season hunts are by reservation. Each year, hunters may apply for one reserved waterfowl hunt at a managed waterfowl area from Aug. 1-28 at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings or at license agents. Special rules are enforced, including shell limits, shot size limits, hunting party size, etc. Maps listing the special rules are available at the area check stations. Normal managed-area drawings may be cancelled late in the season if extreme weather results in low hunter participation. Area managers will post amended check station hunting rules a minimum of two days prior to any changes. Late in the season, hunters may wish to call area headquarters to verify that drawings will be held. Use of waders, decoys, calls, retrievers (except Allegan) and small boats and motors is recommended. See below for additional details.
