I'm reading over the hunting rules for 2010/11 and I noticed that you are no longer allowed to hunt deer with a firearm from a tree stand. When did this change?

Straight out of rulebook:
Raised Platforms and Tree Stands
The following persons may hunt from a raised platform or tree stand:
l All bow and crossbow hunters.
l Bear and deer hunters when using a firearm.
l Fox and coyote hunters from one-half hour before sunrise to
one-half hour after sunset.
All other firearm hunters are prohibited from using a raised platform
or tree stand.

I'd say you CAN hunt deer from a tree stand.

I sat down determined to read the rule book from cover to cover yesterday while my wife was in WW grocery shopping. By page 11-12 (somewhere in there) I gave up. I think that it would be easier to read and understand Maobama's health care bill. :deal2:

If you agree with me, please goto the OP and report the post to the mod's or click this ----> http://www.migunowners.org/forum/images/buttons/report.gif (http://www.migunowners.org/forum/report.php?p=988815)

Awesome!

It's just that I'm sure many hunters in Michigan will do a search on the internet and come up with your tittle. Some of those will not research further.

Besides, I read it every morning and then catch myself and say ...oh yeah....it's that thread. This of course, before I've had my coffee.

Sorry to bring back this old post, but if one is allowed to hunt deer, bear and Coyote from a tree stand, what is the DNR trying to prohibit ?

1) night hunting of Coyotes ? I would have thought that hunting from a raised platform would improve safety by making the earths surface a "backstop" for the rimfire bullets if you are shooting downwards. That and the fact that one can see the quarry and anyone out wandering around would seem to Improve safety.
2) Hunting Elk or moose from a tree stand ?
3) Small game hunting (so shooting fox, possums, raccoon and squirrel from a tree stand is illegal ?)

Anything else ?

If you're just into the hundreds, I may have to question how serious you are about deer hunting.:poke:

Aawww CRAP! I just read the OP's tittle, and went and spread the word on the new laws, now I'm going to have to go back and tell them the tittle was changed, dammit!:drunk:
