Not true. You can target shoot on state land with no hunting license, as long as you have an identifiable and artificial backstop. And, of course are not attempting to take game.
[size="-1"][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font][/size][size="-1"][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]License Requirement - Possession of Firearms and Bows and Arrows
A person taking or attempting to take game and in possession of a firearm, slingshot or bow and arrow must have the appropriate hunting license with them and the identification used to purchase that license and exhibit both upon demand of a Michigan Conservation Officer, a Tribal Conservation Officer or any other law enforcement officer.
A hunting license is not required when target practicing or sighting-in a firearm at an identifiable, artificially constructed target, and there is no attempt to take game. A hunting license is not required for the carrying of a pistol for personal protection by a camper, hiker or person engaged in other recreational activities if there is no attempt to take game.[/font][/size]

Hunting is not a problem if you have a Hunting License! However if you do not have one then keep it in the holster! Oh and no carrying long guns in a state park or federal land without a hunting license! That is a good way to lose your gun and vehicle and spend time with bubba!
