Michigan is one of the best states to go hunting and fishing in! With the most licensed hunters in the country, it's pretty obvious why people choose Michigan.

Things You Should Know First...

Before hunting or fishing in Michigan it is first required that you get officially certified to do so.

In order to fish...
All that is required to fish in Michigan is a Fisher's License! They can be purchased at mostly any fishing or hunting store throughout the state, and are fairly cheap. Once obtained, you may fish in any designated public fishing spot. The license itself must be renewed every year.

In order to hunt...
Huting is a bit more demanding than fishing, due to the danger involved. Hunters must first have completed a Hunter's Safety class beforehand. This outlines key aspects of wild game hunting in Michigan such as, firearm safety, wildlife conservation, survival, and first aid.
After a student passes the class, he or she may then purchase a huting license by presenting a signed certificate of completion to a certified license vendor.
