Antlerless deer hunting access permits will not be available for the Upper Peninsula in 2026.
Hunters planning to harvest an antlerless deer in the Upper Peninsula should be aware that universal antlerless licenses may only be used in the designated low-snowfall deer management units: 022, 122, 255, 155, 121 and 055.
Universal antlerless license use limits in those DMUs are:
- DMU 022: one license.
- DMUs 122, 255, 155 and 121: up to two licenses each.
- DMU 055: Up to five licenses.
Hunters may purchase up to 10 universal antlerless licenses, but the use limits restrict how many universal antlerless licenses may be used to harvest antlerless deer within individual DMUs. Upper Peninsula hunters still have the option to take antlerless deer in the early or late archery season using their single deer license or combo deer license.
