Summary

The Secretary can set places and times on lands they manage where hunting, fishing, or trapping is not allowed, but Michigan keeps its main power over fish and wildlife rules. These bans are used for safety, management, protecting nongame species, or public use and are made after talking with Michigan. After using this power, the Secretary must tell nearby residents as soon as possible and, except in emergencies, must put rules in place only after consulting Michigan’s fish and wildlife agency.
