The hunt is on across Michigan.

The state's regular firearm season for deer opens Sunday and runs through Nov. 30.

Hunting hours run a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset throughout the state.

The Department of Natural Resources says licensed hunters can shoot from portable tree stands, scaffolds or raised platforms but cannot use their cars or trucks as hunting platforms.

The state's baiting ban still is in effect in Lower Michigan. The ban was imposed last year in response to a case of chronic wasting disease in Kent County and carries up to 90 days in jail if violated.

The ban doesn't apply to scent products that attract deer with odors.
