Mature forests offer squirrel hunters exciting hunting action. Aidan Vincent took this fox squirrel on
one of his excursions.
Evart squirrel hunter Hal Hutchinson pauses for a picture with the results of a recent hunt.
Hutchinson still hunts. He slowly walks through forests of mature, mast-bearing hardwoods searching for squirrels. When he is able to take a shot, he shoots his quarry with a small-caliber rifle.

Deer hunters this season may catch a break from the weather. A mild winter last year and a wet
spring provided needed nutrients to deer. Reports indicate more and larger bucks are being seen.

Michigan is now a
GEM state, courtesy of
your DNR and the Ruffed
Grouse Society.
The GEMS are scattered
across the state and hunters are free to find them
and use them.
Each GEM, a grouse enhanced management site,
is an area that should offer
good grouse hunting and
good access.
The GEMs, besides having the required emerging forest habitat grouse
require, has also been
planted with a complement
of other grouse favorites
such as fruit-bearing trees
and shrubs and clover.
Hunters understand
grouse need young forests,
the same kind of habitat
required for hares and
liked by deer, too. Not as
The Michigan DNR and the Ruffed Grouse Society, along with other groups like the National Wild
Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and the U.P. Wildlife Habitat
Fund helped develop areas that provide good wildlife habitat as well as easy access.

Rabbits
Season: Cottontail rabbits and varying (or snowshoe) hare can be hunted
from Sept. 15 to March 31,
2017, statewide. The daily
bag limit is five in combination with a possession
limit of 10.
Outlook: Cottontail populations are good throughout their range over much
of the state. Concentrate
on thick cover, such as
briar patches and brush
piles, often near agricultural fields. Snowshoe hare
populations are down from
historic levels. Look for
early-successional forests
(such as aspen stands) and
low-lying conifer swamps
with blow-downs and
brush piles in the northern
two-thirds of the state.
Squirrels
Season: Sept. 15 to March
1, 2017. The daily bag limit
is five per day with 10 in
possession.
Outlook: Both fox and
gray squirrel populations
are at moderate to high
levels across much of the
state. Areas that had good
mast production last year
are a good bet, as are wood
lots adjoining corn fields.
Ruffed grouse
Season: Sept. 15-Nov.

statewide. The bag limit is
five per day/10 in possession in the northern twothirds of the state (Zones 1
and 2), and three per day/
six in possession in Zone 3
(southern Michigan).
Outlook: Grouse populations are cyclical, typically
rising and falling over a
10-year period, and indications are that we are beginning the upward trend of
the cycle. Spring drumming counts in 2014 and
2015 were up. Hunters are
expected to see about the
same or slightly more birds
this year than in 2015,
said Al Stewart, DNR upland game bird specialist.
Young to moderate-aged
aspen stands about 6 to
15 years of age with a
thick understory of witch
hazel or dogwood are
prime grouse habitat. Food
sources are important,
but wild fruit and berry
production should be very
good this year due to good
Woodcock
Season: Sept. 24 to Nov.
7 statewide. The daily bag
limit is three with a possession limit of six.
Outlook: Michigan is
the number-one woodcock
harvest state in the nation.
This fall, hunters can expect about the same results
they had last year. Found
in all parts of Michigan,

Outlook: Back-to-back
harsh winters and ice
storms have significantly
lowered quail populations.
Quail hunters that had success last year can expect
similar results in 2016.
Dont forget that a base
hunting license entitles
hunters to hunt rabbit,
hare, squirrel (fox and
gray, black phase included), pheasant, ruffed
grouse, sharp-tailed
grouse, woodchuck, woodcock (HIP endorsement
required), quail, crow,
coyote (applies to Michigan
residents only) and waterfowl (with a federal waterfowl stamp and Michigan

each species.
