June 2025 NRC Preview

The June 2025 Michigan Natural Resources Committee (NRC) meeting will take place on Thursday, June 12 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Bay City-Riverfront, beginning at 9:30 a.m.  


The Director will present reports from the Steelhead Task Group and a Preliminary Deer Harvest Survey.  


There are no new orders for the director or NRC to consider.  


MUCC reviews all land transactions exceeding 80 acres. These transactions are not available at the time of writing.   


The order to reopen the coyote season has been postponed indefinitely. Commissioners could take action on the wildlife conservation order under old business at any meeting.  


In response to the commission's continued inaction, MUCC established the Coyote Coalition—a petition supported by Michigan hunters, landowners, and citizens who believe the commission is not meeting its legal obligations or adequately representing public interests. Sign the petition today to make your voice heard.  


MUCC will be streaming the meeting on our Facebook and YouTube as technology allows.

If you have ever seen a deer with velveted antlers at strange times of the year, it may have been a rare sighting of an antlered doe. Unusual circumstances like this allow for the antlered and antlerless deer tags to still apply as imposed by the Michigan DNR deer regulations, as it can be difficult to identify a doe from a buck while in the field, aside from the presence of antlers. Often, hunters who tag an antlered doe do not find out it is a female until they go to field dress their kill.
