Finding land to hunt

In Michigan, you don't need to own land to be able to hunt.  Michigan has many state-owned public land to hunt and there are also areas created by the DNR to help promote hunting.  The HAP or Hunting Access Program opens up areas to hunter for small game hunting such as rabbits and ruffed grouse.  All that is required for these areas are a valid license and you sign in and sign out when you enter and leave the property.  Also, you can speak with landowners and get permission from them to hunt their property.  If you don't own property, that shouldn't deter you from getting out and enjoying the great outdoors of Michigan because there are many options for everyone's needs.
