SB 996 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Natural resources: hunting; certain hunting regulations; modify to allow for hunting of antlered deer. Amends 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.101 - 324.90106) by adding sec. 43527c.

This bill modifies Michigan's hunting regulations to permit individuals to hunt antlered deer during the Liberty Hunt and Independence Hunt. It directly affects hunters who are eligible to participate in these specific events and hold a valid deer license. Under the new provision, anyone meeting these two requirements would be allowed to take antlered deer, whereas previous rules may have restricted this to antlerless deer only. The change is limited strictly to these two hunts and does not alter licensing requirements or eligibility criteria for participation.
