Michigan’s 2023 regular firearm deer season concluded on November 30, leaving many area hunters empty-handed. This season closed with a final tally of 361 deer taken in Alger County, down sharply from the 455 reported in 2022.

Firearm deer hunting season is right around the corner, and many hunters are busy scouting land, watching trail cameras and preparing equipment for opening day. To ensure a safe season, Michigan Department of Natural Resources conservation officers are sharing best practices and tips to avoid the most common violations and mistakes they see every year.
