GRAYLING, MI - Members of the military who were patrolling Michigan’s Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center called the Michigan Department of Natural Resources when they suspected a hunter was trespassing on the property.

DNR Conservation Officer Mike Hearn took the call in late November and headed out to the military center, where personnel had found fresh shoe prints in the snow. It showed the person had climbed a fence and entered Camp Grayling’s tank base, according to a recent DNR law enforcement report.

“CO Hearn responded and set out on foot following the foot tracks. After nearly a mile, the trespasser was located seated in full camo under a pine tree with a rifle in hand,” the report said.

The man was arrested and taken off the property.

Camp Grayling is the largest National Guard training center in the United States. Based just off I-75, it sprawls into three counties, and offers military and other groups the chance to practice their skills with four-season training.
