Summary

The bill amends Michigan’s wildlife reporting statutes so that licensed hunters and dealers no longer have to include deer pelts in their seasonal and monthly reports. Reporting for other fur‑bearing animals, game birds and game animals remains unchanged, and reports must still be notarized and sent by registered mail. The change simplifies paperwork for those handling deer.
