The Department of Natural Resources and Environment reminds hunters that muzzleloader season for deer opened last Friday in the Zone 1 (Upper Peninsula) and Zone 3 (southern Michigan).
The season runs for 10 days in the U.P. and 17 days in southern Michigan.
Hunters must possess appropriate license tags—firearms license or combination license tags to take an antlered buck, or antlerless deer licenses to take antlerless deer.
Muzzleloading season in Zone 2 (northern Lower Peninsula) runs from Dec. 10-19.
