Thats it in a nutshell. I gave the link at the top which is directly from the DNR's website and all the info posted came from the 2008 Michigan Hunting and trapping guide and if memory serves me right you can find it on page 9 of said book. I don't think I missed anything, but if I did, I'm sure someone will catch it.

Good luck!

She has a combo....she is good for 1 deer(antlered or antlerless). Depending on her age and location(private/public) will dictate gun or bow.
