Lenawee County, MI – Today is the opening day of the firearm deer hunting season in Michigan. This year, more than 550,000 deer hunters will head into the woods and fields to try their luck at bringing home tasty venison to feed their families.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reports that a recent study released by Michigan United Conservation Clubs estimates that hunting and fishing in Michigan generate $11.2 billion each year, with the state’s hunters contributing $8.9 billion – about 80 percent – of those dollars.
The MDNR says that if you are staying at a camp with folks outside your household and aren’t vaccinated, remember to wear a mask if you are indoors or can’t be 6 feet apart, and sleep in separate rooms, tents or trailers, if possible. Sanitize hands and surfaces regularly, stay well and have fun.
