Snyder Signs Bills To Improve Access To Hunting Licenses

Governor Rick Snyder recently signed legislation that gives hunters from Michigan and other states better access to select hunting licenses.

“Residents and visitors alike should be able to experience all that Pure Michigan’s natural resources have to offer,” Snyder said. “Hunting is a great way to do that, and these bills give hunters expanded options to enjoy our great outdoors.”

The bill allows individuals purchasing a three-day or seven-day limited nonresident small game license to purchase a waterfowl hunting license without the purchase of a base license.

The bill also creates a three-day limited nonresident small game license at a cost of $50.

Another bill amends the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act to allow an individual who purchased a Mentored Youth Hunting License to purchase additional licenses, including antlerless deer licenses, a bear hunting license, and an elk hunting license.
