Later that evening at 21:15 UTC, Maddock directed criticism toward the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), stating, "Thank the @MichiganDNR for this menace. The hunter-hating DNR has intentionally made hunting so complex you need an attorney. Deer hunting should be free now. Anytime. Anywhere."

Three minutes later, at 21:18 UTC, he continued his criticism by posting, "The @MichiganDNR and NRC hate hunters and fishers and are run by a bunch of leftist communist environmentalist terrorists."
