(WWJ) Something to keep in mind before firearm season begins next week: There is a new requirement for deer hunters in Michigan this season.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says mandatory harvest reporting has begun with the fall 2022 dear seasons.
This means Michigan hunters will have up to 72 hours after taking a deer to report their harvest.
There are two ways to do it:
• Report online at Michigan.gov/DNRHarvestReport.
• Use the DNR’s new Hunt Fish Mobile App.
Answers to frequently asked questions are available for questions related to deer harvest reporting.
For hunters who need more guidance: The reporting process is outlined in this video, and assistance for those experiencing technical difficulties will be available at a variety of locations around the state or by calling 517-284-9453 during normal business hours.
Michigan deer archery season is ongoing until Monday, Nov. 14, ending the day before firearm season begins.
