Commercial Hunting Guides on State Land
Hunting guides in Michigan are required to obtain written permission in the form of a permit in order to provide hunting guiding services on DNR-managed public land. The commercial hunting guide permit only gives the authorization to have a business on DNR-managed public lands. The DNR does not issue permits for the "act" of guiding.
