Private land antlerless permits will be available over the counter starting August 16 at 10 a.m. Hunters thinking about obtaining the private land antlerless permits will need the name and telephone number of the person giving the permission to hunt.

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula and in the Norther Lower Peninsula, there will be a 40 acre minimum before you can apply for a private land antlerless permit.

Michigan residents 10 to 16 can buy 1 antlerless permit over the counter for either private or public land until August 15. A parent or guardian must be present when the purchase is made.
