Fur Harvesting Update

Important:

2018 kill tags for bobcat, otter, fisher and marten will not be available on May 1, 2018.

Due to potential regulation changes to some fur-harvesting bag limits, these free kill tags will not be available until after regulations have been finalized.

The fur-harvesting regulations are up for action at the June 14 Natural Resources Commission meeting.

Learn more about proposed regulation changes, meeting locations and agendas at mi.gov/nrc


2018 Fur Harvester License

The 2018 fur harvester license will be available for purchase May 1.

Remember that a 2018 base license is required to purchase a fur harvester license. All who hunt and trap furbearing animals must have a valid base license and fur harvester license.   

2018 fur harvester licenses are valid May 1, 2018 – April 30, 2019. 

Base and fur harvester licenses can be purchased at license agents, DNR Customer Service Centers, or online at eLicense.

2018 fur-harvesting regulations for hunting and trapping furbearing species will be available in the NEW Michigan Fur Harvester Digest.

The 2018 Fur Harvester Digest will be available after the fur-harvesting regulations are finalized.
