The deer hunting access permit application period is open July 15 - Aug. 15.
Select hunters may need to apply for a limited-hunt access permit to hunt deer in some areas.
Universal antlerless licenses are available for purchase over the counter without an application.
Upper Peninsula deer hunters
In the central part of the Upper Peninsula, new deer management units 351 and 352 will require an antlerless deer hunting access permit AND a universal antlerless deer license to hunt antlerless deer.
DMU 351 is made up of DMUs 021, 349, 249, 149, 017 and 117. DMU 352 is made up of DMUs 027, 036, 152 and 252. See page 60 in the 2022 Hunting Digest for a map of the DMUs.
1,000 access permits will be available in each of these two DMUs.
One antlerless deer hunting access permit for the DMU you are hunting in plus one universal antlerless deer license is required for each deer harvested.
If you hunt in DMUs 022, 122, 055, 155, 255 and 121 in the U.P., all you will need is a universal antlerless deer license to hunt antlerless deer.
