You might be an artist who would like to introduce yourself and your work here or maybe you’re a business with a mission to describe.
The Ottawa National Forest Offers hundreds of thousands acres for a variety of hunting opportunities ranging from small game to large animals. A valid Michigan State hunting license is required. Be sure to acquaint yourself of the State seasons, regulations and any other federal rules that may apply to a specific area you will be visiting. White tail deer, Black Bear and Grouse hunting are all popular in the forests of our area. Other small game fowl and fur bearing hunting is also excellent.
BEAR HUNTING:
Michigan Bear Season has 3 hunt periods. 1st season is a 5 day hunt from September 10 – 14 and is a no dogs period. Second season begins September 15, and 3rd season begins September 25. The final hunt day is October 25. Permit applications for the Bergland area need to be submitted to the State of Michigan in early spring (see www.michigan.gov/dnr ), with results generally posted around June 30.
