GUN PLAIN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — State lawmakers have introduced a bill that would expand firearm deer season.
Michigan has recently seen a drop in revenue from hunting license sales and supporters of the bill believe it could help reverse that trend.
According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, deer license sales last year were down about 18% from 2008. The sales generate about $40 million for the state.
The bill would expand firearm deer season to Nov. 5 and Dec. 1. Currently, the season runs from Nov. 15-30.
