I was recently browsing the 2009 Michigan Hunting and Trapping Guide and found the following on Page 8:
Youth and 100% Disabled Veteran Firearm Deer Hunting Days
There will be a youth and 100% disabled veteran firearm deer season Sept. 26-27, 2009, on all lands in Michigan. A youth 10-16 years of age with a combination license or a youth 12-16 years of age with a firearm license or a qualified veteran with disabilities may take an antlered or antlerless deer during this special two-day season. An antlerless license or a Deer Management Assistance permit, if issued for the area/land upon which hunting, is valid for only antlerless deer. Archery and junior archery deer licenses are not valid for this hunt. The bag limit for this season is one deer. A firearm or combination license is valid for any deer in this season.
Youths 10 and 11 years of age are restricted to archery-only hunting. Youths 12 and 13 may hunt with a firearm on private land only, including lands enrolled in the Commercial Forest program. The youth must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age or older. An adult accompanying a youth firearm deer hunter cannot possess or carry a firearm, crossbow or bow and arrow and does not need a deer hunting license. Hunters may not use bait during this season. All hunters are required to wear hunter orange.
This appears not to have the CPL and/or Personal Protection Exception Clause that is found elsewhere in the Hunting Guide for other hunting seasons (I.E. - Archery Season). So, I asked the following question on the Ask DNR Site:
Can I carry a pistol openly (CPL or not) or concealed (with CPL) while afield with my youth during the "Youth and 100% Disabled Veteran Firearm Deer Hunting Days" if the sole purpose is for Personal Protection? The language in the 2009 Hunting Guide seems to indicate "No" on Page 8, whereas there are CPL-Personal Protection exceptions listed for other seasons where firearms are not allowed.
I have received the following email in response:
