UPPER MICHIGAN - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is expanding its eHarvest digital tagging system to include most species that require a kill tag, offering a modern and convenient alternative to traditional paper tags for hunters across the state. Effective with the 2026 license year, Michigan hunters can use optional digital eHarvest tags for deer, turkey, bear, bobcat, otter, fisher, and marten via the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish mobile app. This modernization, which continues to allow paper tags, is expected to increase efficiency, lower administrative costs, and boost conservation funding. Digital tags offer simplicity, 24/7 convenience, immediate offline validation, and dependable enforcement. More information is available at Michigan.gov/DNRHuntFishApp.
