HR 202 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution calling on the Michigan Natural Resources Commission to temporarily extend the 2025 open firearm hunting season and set the dates to be November 1, 2025, to November 30, 2025.

This resolution calls on the Michigan Natural Resources Commission to extend the 2025 firearm hunting season to November 1-30, 2025. It aims to give hunters and processors more time to donate venison through the Hunters Feeding Michigan program before SNAP benefits pause on November 1, 2025. The resolution does not change hunting laws but requests the Commission adopt these dates to support food bank donations during the SNAP interruption. It directly affects the Commission and the Hunters Feeding Michigan program, which distributes donated venison to food banks statewide.
