1931 MI Deer Hunting license

I was cleaning out a closet yesterday and came across this 1931 MI resident deer license, I honestly can't remember ever seeing it before but it must have came from one of my grandpas. I googled it and it looks to be real, I first thought it was just a commemorative button or something.

That pretty unique. I’ve never seen a button license.

contact them to see if they can tell who it belonged to.You may have the only one.I came across a 50s CO tag and they wanted a museum at the headquarters or something so I gave it to them but not as cool as yours

So cool. I can’t imagine they even distinguished between resident and nonresident hunters in 1931. Doubt people did a whole lot of traveling to hunt back then.

I think I'm going to try this route and see if I can find some more info on it.

I'm not sure about the 1930's but my dad said when he was a boy there wasn't many deer around here and lots of people went to the UP to hunt deer, not sure if it was for the hunting or the whole deer camp experience.

This is very cool! The old buttons are very interesting, that it was a family members is awesome X100!

When my Grandpa died in the mid 80's I inherited his old gun case, in the bottom drawer he had a bunch of paper shotgun shells some of his old hunting licenses and an old gun cleaning kit with a three piece wood cleaning rod.
