Is it legal for me to shoot my AR-15 at targets on public hunting land in Michigan if I do not have a hunting license/am not a citizen of Michigan?
You can target shoot on public hunting land if you have a hunting license. There are animals that can be hunted year-round, like red squirrel...The law says you may not have an uncased, loaded gun in any area frequented by game, without a license, and so technically, you are hunting red squirrel, or woodchuck. It's an odd way of doing it, but it's the way it was explained to me when I checked on it years ago.
“A hunting license is not required when target practicing or sighting-in a firearm at an identifiable, artificially constructed target, and there is no attempt to take game.”
