Michigan is getting harder and harder to hunt upland birds, ya got to go up north for the them. The only salvation for us southern Michiganders was the potential to hunt doves, but that was thrown by the wayside.......

Currently, Michigan does not allow the hunting of the Mourning dove because the bird is not a game species listed in Public Act 21. In 2006, Act 160 of 2004 allowed mourning doves to be listed as game species, but was rejected in the 2006 election and therefore, Mourning doves are not hunted in Michigan.

There are pheasants here in S.E. Michigan, I've seen them crossing roads in the less populated areas such as Macomb Twp and Lenox but good luck finding the land owners of the fields, let alone getting them to allow you to hunt them.......

The last time I hunted pheasant was maybe 2001 and had to fork up the expenses to travel to N.W. Kansas..........I can't afford that anymore......

I sympathize. I was so fortunate to grow up where I did, when I did, with the parents that I had.

I could walk out the door and start hunting. I spent more time in a canoe growing up, than on a bike. Most of the family farm was purchased by the Federal government as a part of the wild river project.

Good luck on finding a place to hunt. If you are interested in deer hunting, I might be able to wrangle a spot at the family hunting shack near Hayward, Wisconsin.

Rather primitive, and out-of-state deer licenses run about $125 , last that I looked. No guarantees..
