The DNR shooting ranges will be open seven days per week from November 1-15, including Veterans’ Day. The weekday hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Ortonville and Pontiac Lake, and they are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Rose Lake and Sharonville. The last shot is fired 15 minutes before closing.
Beginning November 16, the regular range schedule of five days per week (Thursday through Monday) returns at the ranges (except Dansville), but the Sharonville range will be closed that week due to the handgun range construction project. The Sharonville range is scheduled to reopen on November 21 for the weekend.
Try the Mi-HUNT mapping application (www.michigan.gov/mihunt) to plan your hunting trips. Also, you can purchase hunting and fishing licenses online 24 hours per day. Visit the DNR shooting range webpage at www.michigan.gov/shootingranges for updated information about the ranges.
