Michigan: late archery deer hunting

GW:  I’ll just wait a few days so that I can use my .450 Bushmaster in the Muzzleloading season.  And, following that, the late-antlerless season begins and runs through January 1st, 2022.  Same firearm then, too.

The late archery deer hunting season is open through Jan. 1. Valid licenses for this season include a deer hunting license, a deer combo license or an antlerless deer hunting license. Hunters in the Upper Peninsula may not use a crossbow during the late archery season unless hunting in the Chronic Wasting Disease Core Area or possessing a special permit to hunt with a modified bow.

Urban deer management archery season

The urban deer management archery season will be open Jan 1-31 in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. Licenses for this season include a deer hunting license, a deer combo license or an antlerless deer hunting license. All rules and regulations for the archery season apply.

Hunters should check local ordinances in the communities they are interested in hunting to make sure hunting is allowed and to see whether only specific areas are open for the extended season. State game and wildlife areas in all three counties are open to hunting during this extended season.
