Michigan firearm deer season kicks off Friday, and the DNR hopes for a successful hunt

Many would argue Nov. 15 a statewide holiday: it's the start of firearm deer season. It will run two weeks starting Friday through Nov. 30. For many families, it's tradition to grab their most flattering hunter orange and stake out. However, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, fewer and fewer people are taking part year-by-year, and the number of deer is growing.
