Early Firearm Antlerless Deer Hunting License - 2009

An early firearm antlerless deer hunting season will take place on private land in some Lower Peninsula DMUs from Sept. 17 through Sept. 21, 2009. You must possess a valid private land antlerless deer license or DMA permit issued for the DMU in which you are hunting to take a deer during this season. You also must have permission from the landowner or leaseholder before hunting on private land, and the telephone number of the private landowner is required to acquire a private land antlerless deer license. You may not bait for deer in the Lower Peninsula. All firearm and crossbow hunters must be 12 or older and must wear Hunter Orange. Youths 10 and 11 are restricted to archery-only hunting, and must possess a private land antlerless license or DMA permit and must wear Hunter Orange. Archery and junior archery deer licenses are not valid for this hunt.

Note: See information on DMA permits.
