Michigan's regulations regarding hunting guides is relatively loose. Michigan DNR hunting guides are allowed to operate on Michigan's waters provided they have the required training and have a state pilot's license. Public boat access sites are not permitted for commercial use. The state and the US Coast Guard partially regulate charter boat fishing operations in Michigan's Great Lakes, and adjacent waters.
The HB5358 requires hunting guides to be certified as first-aid.
A variety of new pieces have been introduced to Michigan. These could have an influence on the state's sport communities. HB 5358 for example requires hunting guides to have first aid certification. HB 5187 would safeguard the firearms industry, and HB 5188 would protect citizens' 2nd Amendment right. HB 5393, on the other hand, would modernize state gaming laws. It would also allow nonprofit conservation organizations to raise funding via the Internet. A bill similar to this last year was defeated by the coronavirus epidemic, and so the momentum was lost.
The new law is intended to improve safety and protect consumers. However, it is not clear how it will impact commercial fishing and hunting guides. However, the law was created to prevent bad actors in the commercial fishing and hunting industries. Under the new law, commercial fishing and hunting guides will have to provide valuable data on the species they harvest to the DNR. Guides will be required to submit monthly reports detailing how many clients they have and how much time they spend fishing each month. Certificated guides must submit a report outlining the species they target, how many clients they guide, how much time they spend fishing and how many fish they caught.
For inland fishing guides, HB 5359 calls for monthly reports
HB 5359 spells out the requirements for searching guides, including whether they need a certification for first aid and a primary assist package. The restrictions on work on commercial forest lands are also very strict. Inland fishermen guides must also file monthly reports describing the species of fish they target, the number or clients they served, the time they fished, and the number or fish they released.
Triston Cole, an Antrim County former state representative and long-time guide, spoke out against this bill. It is unnecessary, he says. This bill will make outdoor recreation more difficult and worsen the problems of Michigan DNR. The DNR is already dealing with a decline in anglers and hunters. Ultimately, this loss in participation translates into less money to manage the state's natural resources. Others think the problem is more complex than hunting or fishing.

How To
How to build a Deer Blind
A deerblind is a type hunting device used for hiding from game animals, such as deer, elk, and so on. It is usually made from wood or canvas and covered with branches or leaves. The hunter hides inside the enclosure and waits for the animal to pass by. When hunting at night, a deer blind is frequently used.
There are many types of deer blinds. Some are portable while others are permanent structures. They are often made from metal, plywood, cardboard, plastic, canvas or metal.
The most common types of deer blinds are box blinds (also called box stands), which consist of a wooden box with a roof and walls. Boxes are very popular because they are easy to construct and transport.
A tree stand is another type of deer blind. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands can be permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds are another type. They are similar to tree stands but are built into ground. Ground blinds are often camouflaged with grass, dirt, rocks, or sand. Ground blinds are also known as "groundboxes".
There are several different ways to hunt with a deer blind. Another way to hunt with a deer blind is to simply wait for it to approach. You could also move and try to scare it away. If you choose this method, make sure you stay quiet and don't move too much. This could lead the animal to think you're a predator and run off.
First, find the right spot to place a deer blind. Choose a spot that isn't likely to blow your scent towards animals. Avoid hiking areas.
Also, ensure you understand how to set up a deer blind. The last thing you want is for the animal see you and run.
