Hello Michigan!

My Wife and I are visiting her folks for Christmas this year, they live near Saginaw. Her Dad and I are talking about doing some small game hunting, squirrels and rabbits.  I've already researched license requirements and gun laws, we seem to be having a difficult time figuring out where to hunt.

Any suggestions on public lands for small game? Or possible pay to hunt for a couple days?

Thanks in advance.

There's the Gratiot-Saginaw state game area south west of Saginaw in the Marion Springs area.

Interactive map at the link above.  

Shiawasee SGA might have small game opportunities, been a long time since I've been there as a teenager focused on ducks.

Tuscola SGA east of Saginaw.

I’d probably go over to gladwin there’s lots of oaks for squirrels nice trails for walking lots of rabbits and ruffed grouse. Lots of camping spots or little cheap motels if you don’t want to drive back and forth to Saginaw. But it’s not really too far from there

I thought deer season would be closed by Christmas. I didn't even check the dates, lol.

Thanks for that info! I think I might take advantage of the chance to put some meat in the freezer.
