Hoffmaster Park Closes for Deer Hunt | Grand Rapids News

Hoffmaster State Park is shutting down for four days in November—not for a festival or holiday, but for a controlled deer hunt aimed at restoring ecological balance. The Michigan DNR’s science-backed plan will temporarily close the entire park, including campgrounds already shut for the season. Hunters are selected via lottery by August 31st, with results emailed by September; each winner gets two specific days within the Nov. 20–23 window. Visitors should mark those dates on their calendars—the park reopens fully after the hunt concludes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
