HB 5721 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Natural resources: hunting; year-round coyote hunting season; provide for. Amends sec. 43531 of 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.43531).

This bill proposes to allow individuals with a valid hunting license to hunt coyotes year-round in Michigan, removing previous seasonal restrictions. It maintains the requirement for a separate fur harvester's license to hunt other fur-bearing animals but clarifies that this license is only valid for species without established bag limits starting March 1, 2014. The legislation also outlines specific licensing fees and eligibility rules for residents and nonresidents, including a discount for minor children. These changes would directly affect hunters and trappers by expanding the time available to hunt coyotes while adjusting regulations for other fur-bearing species.
