  1. North West Michigan Streams and Rivers
    By definition, Ingress and egress are use, and allow for the legal entering and exiting of property as prescribed in the deed or certificate of easement. The case you’re referring to is in regards to an otherwise non-navigable (private) inland lake. That case has nothing to do with navigable...
  2. North West Michigan Streams and Rivers
    Public water V private water is the primary issue. If it’s private water it’s essentially the same as private land and no entry is granted simply by entering from a public road right of way.
  3. Deer Hunting Regulations, Proposals, and Law Debat
    Basically unenforceable.

    That look you get when the occasional benelli holds three in the magazine. “But it came plugged from the manufacturer.”
  5. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    It doesn’t apply to target shooting. Maybe you can find the link and share. There’s a state attorney general opinion about it on record.
  6. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    I actually have written a ticket for someone leaving their boat on state owned lands. They used to pull it ashore and hide it in the weeds on an inland lake in one of the state game areas so they wouldn’t have to launch and retrieve during duck season. Received complaints about it, addressed it...
  7. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Just so y’all know, I never chose to write anyone a ticket for leaving a trail cam out in my local state game areas. Too many other things to worry about. 🙂
  8. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Never saw a bulletin, and the link I shared to the State Land Use Rule is current. They are simply “allowed” by accepted practice at this point. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  9. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    How to stop illegal baiting…… make it legal. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  10. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Not far off. When I first started I had two milk crates in the back seat that were filled with 4” 3-ring binders with all the DNR associated Laws, Orders, and Rules. That was before the first DEQ split so we carried all the environmental stuff around too. It was a lot easier to keep track of...
  11. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    If done correctly, yes. I’m not sure if it has ever been challenged in a court case regarding an “illegal” search on a camera left on public property, but eventually we were told that any cameras searched needed to have a warrant to read the card. If there’s criminal activity afoot around the...
  12. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    People most definitely have been written tickets for fishing without a license while duck hunting.
  13. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Well, funny or not, until an exception is written to specifically allow it, it’s by letter of state land use rule, not allowed. Same as it’s illegal to go over 55 but most cops won’t stop you till you reach their threshold. We can go back and forth all day about if it’s accepted practice or...

    Hopefully they would tell you that as written it’s a state land violation to leave property on state land for more than 24 hours. If they want to include how they, as an officer, enforce that aspect in their area that’s up to them but they should always be telling you what the rules are and not...

    I guess it would depend on who exactly the email was from and what it says in it’s entirety. If it’s from a person in communications section, it probably wouldn’t hold much water. If it was from the chief of law enforcement, it’s probably good and a safe bet it wouldn’t be addressed by an...
  16. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    It’s quite enforceable albeit a civil infraction. Proofs for a cite are easier as well as you only need preponderance of evidence. As far as the image shared being cliff notes, is appears to be a picture of a DNR document, likely what you can find on the back of almost every map of state game...

    State land Use Rules are only for land owned or under the control of the department (DNR). Not sure if the NF has any similar regulations.
  18. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    What you are describing is quite literally the murky, spirit of the law, which separates illegal, legal, and accepted. It’s there if needed, but likely never used for the majority of items like you have listed. For sure there are a plethora of other items that could be included. I would about...
  19. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Civil infraction
  20. Michigan Whitetail Deer Hunting
    Here’s the complete wording. Scroll down to R299.922(w). The wording “or other property” is quite inclusive to pretty much everything that isn’t particularly excepted by rule or order. https://dtmb.state.mi.us/ORRDocs/AdminCode/949_2010-014NR_AdminCode.pdf All that said, I do know that it’s...
