TL;DR: Michigan NEEDS Detroit region hunters more now than ever. 🦌 Hunting in Michigan is so much more than just a generational past time. With deer populations skyrocketing in stride with suburbanization, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is depending on hunters now more than ever to get involved in the agency's larger conservation strategy. This means more than just getting in the field - already a critical first step. This means adopting an identity of a conservation field agent. Hunting with a purpose, and adjusting hunting strategies and targets accordingly. Detroit region hunters: our state needs us to take more does. Our most recent #HuntingHardKnocks installation dials in as to why. #Conservation #MichiganHunting #DeerSeason #KeepFallFresh #OutdoorIndustry #Hunting Michigan Economic Development Corporation Michigan League of Conservation Voters Michigan Wildlife Conservancy Michigan Outdoor Recreation Industry Office Michigan Bow Hunters Assn National Wildlife Federation Michigan Nature Association Michigan United Conservation Clubs Boone and Crockett Club
