Use of Ground Blinds on Public Land by Hunters with Disabilities

Any person who has been issued a permit to hunt from a standing vehicle, or who has been issued a disabled person parking permit by the Secretary of State, or who meets the disability standards set forth in the Michigan Off-Road Recreational Vehicle Law, may use a constructed ground blind on public land. If the constructed ground blind is left overnight on public land, the following conditions must be met:

  • The blind is placed on public land no earlier then 10 days prior to the hunting season for which it is used and is removed at the end of the season for which it is used.
     
  • The person with the disability has attached, etched, engraved or painted their name and address on the blind.
     
  • Fasteners, if used to anchor or attach the blind, cannot penetrate the bark of a tree and must be removed with the blind.
     
  • A person who is not disabled can assist a person with a disability in constructing a legal blind on public land.

See  Ground Blinds on Public Land   for removal exemption on local public agency lands.
