Farmers To Pass Out Guest Hunting Tickets This Fall
Michigan farmers in about 50 hunting clubs will distribute guest hunting tickets this fall under a plan led by MSU fisheries and wildlife specialist Charles Shick. The program, begun in 1929, requires tickets issued by the conservation department and posted signs on each property. Hunters pick up a ticket before entering a member’s field and return it at day’s end. The system aims to limit access and foster good relations between landowners and hunters, with 130000 acres opened last year and most clubs located in southern Michigan.
