Management of Michigan’s deer herd is essential to maximize its positive and minimize its negative effects on social, biological, ecological, and economic values. While we are the lead agency for deer management, collaboration with federal and state agencies and tribal governments, as well as private landowners, hunters, and other partners and stakeholders is critical to the success of management efforts. Michigan's Deer Management Plan encourages cooperation and consistent approaches among partners in all efforts to manage deer in Michigan.
