Michigan hunting services questions

What number reaches Michigan conservation officers?

The Report All Poaching line, 800-292-7800, call or text, any hour.

Are opening hours on these cards?

No, apart from the hours the DNR and Forest Service post for their own offices and the notes on DNR sample sites. Phone ahead.

How do I give a deer to Hunters Feeding Michigan?

Report the deer, field dress and tag it, then take it whole to a Hunters Feeding Michigan processor; they are tagged in the processor directory.

What does the Michigan services directory hold?

1,304: 68 processors, 229 taxidermists, 65 guides and preserves and 942 hunting shops, plus 54 agency offices.

Where in Michigan are the most listings?

Oakland County (82), Wayne County (70) and Macomb County (69).

Do all 83 Michigan counties appear?

82 of 83 have one. Keweenaw have none.

Where did these Michigan listings come from?

The DNR license agent map, the Hunters Feeding Michigan processor list, the DNR deer disease sample site layers, the DNR game bird preserve directory, DNR, Forest Service and refuge office pages, and Yellow Pages categories.

Why leave out the gas stations on the DNR agent map?

The DNR agent map has 785 counters such as gas stations, grocery and hardware stores that sell licenses but not hunting gear, so they are left out.

Check the Wildlife Conservation Order

The Natural Resources Commission can amend the Wildlife Conservation Order between seasons, and the DNR updates its summaries when it does. A rule on this page can be overtaken, so open the linked summary before a long drive.
