The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has unveiled a series of new regulations for the 2025 deer hunting season, set to take effect on August 1. These adjustments are poised to impact hunters across the state, introducing changes that aim to enhance wildlife management and ensure sustainable hunting practices.


Key Changes in Regulations

Among the most notable updates is the extension of the late antlerless firearm season, which will now run until January 11, 2026, in selected counties. This move is designed to better manage deer populations in areas where they are particularly abundant.


  • Late antlerless firearm season expanded to January 11, 2026, in certain counties.
  • Early and late antlerless firearm seasons are open on both public and private lands in designated DMUs.
  • During the muzzleloading deer season, hunters in zones 2 and 3 may use any firearm that is legal for the zone.
  • Changes to antlerless harvest during the early and late archery seasons in the Upper Peninsula have been implemented.

Additionally, the mandatory deer harvest reporting requirement remains in place, ensuring that all hunters contribute to the data collection efforts essential for effective wildlife management. For those needing assistance, the DNR has provided a helpline at 517-284-9453.


Increased Participation from Last Year

According to a report from the Michigan DNR, participation in deer hunting saw a slight increase in 2024, with 532,926 individuals taking part. This marks a 1% rise compared to the previous year, with a total of 604,088 licenses purchased.


Finding Hunting Lands

Hunters looking for suitable lands can utilize resources available on Michigan.gov/MiHunt. State parks may allow hunting, although national wildlife refuges remain closed unless expressly permitted.
