Bear hunters and others interested in bear harvest quotas and regulations are invited to provide input on proposed changes for the 2021-2022 hunting seasons.

These changes were brought forward and discussed at the 2020 Bear Forum meeting, held virtually in December. The full proposals on desired harvest levels, license quotas, baiting regulations, expansion of an archery-only season in the northern Lower Peninsula and additional topics discussed can be found in the Bear Forum Summary.

After reviewing the summary, please provide input on the proposals, using the survey button below, by Jan. 29.

Your input is valuable and will be considered in future bear management decisions.
