Hunters Feeding Michigan
$500K secured in last year’s state budget to purchase refrigerated trailers for Hunters Feeding Michigan, which coordinates hunters, game processors, and food pantries to provide donations of nutritious venison to families in need.

Investing in Natural Resources
Protecting Outdoor Recreation for the Next Generations
The DNR manages Michigan’s natural resources, but inflation and declining outdoor participation threaten its funding and mission — putting habitats, fisheries, and other vital assets at risk. I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation to revamp and renew funding for Michigan’s outdoor recreation and natural resources.
Highlights of Senate Bills 276-277 include:
- 60% youth discount, while keeping the senior discount
- Dedicated funding for hunter and angler education and recruitment, to maintain our outdoor heritage
- Modest increases in license prices
- 75% reduction in antlerless deer license cost
- Earn-a-second-buck opportunity
These bills ensure future generations can enjoy Michigan’s outdoor heritage, just as I have as a lifelong sportsman. For more information on the legislation, visit my website at SenatorCherry.com/hunt-and-hook.
