Bag Limit – The bag limit is one (1) legal buck. This harvest will count towards your annual antlered deer bag limit.
Mandatory Harvest Reporting – Hunters (including license exempt hunters) must report their harvest by 10:00 p.m. the day of harvest. Hunters can report via the MDWFP mobile app or MDWFP web portal.
Mandatory CWD Sampling – All harvested bucks must be submitted for CWD sampling to a MDWFP CWD Drop-off freezer or to an MDWFP participating taxidermist within 5 days of harvest.
