DNR Wildlife staff available for hunters’ questions at license retailers Nov. 14

On Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., DNR staff members – including Wildlife Division Chief Russ Mason and Assistant Chief Doug Reeves – will be available for questions at some of the busiest retail stores in southern Michigan.

 

“This is the perfect opportunity to connect with the hunting community on the busiest license-buying day of the year,” said Mason. “We will be stationed in many locations, and we hope hunters will stop by so we can answer any questions they may have about EHD or other deer-related concerns.”
