Leftover Spring Turkey Licenses Go on Sale March 8
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment reminds hunters that leftover spring turkey licenses go on sale to unsuccessful license applicants on Tuesday, March 8, at 10 a.m. Licenses may be purchased by any hunter beginning March 15 at 10 a.m., including those who did not participate in the application process.
Hunters may look up their drawing results and view leftover license quantities at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings
"There are numerous licenses available for many areas of the state," said Al Stewart, the DNRE's Upland Game Bird Specialist. "There are more than 52,000 remaining licenses available, which allows hunters to pursue turkeys on private land in southern Michigan from April 18 - May 1, the first two weeks of the season. Or, hunters may purchase a license for Hunt 234 to hunt turkeys statewide from May 2 ? 31, except for public lands in Unit ZZ." The Hunt 234 license may be purchased until May 1.
There are over 74,000 total leftover licenses available for limited-quota hunts. Hunters may purchase only one license for the spring turkey season. Licenses can be purchased online at www.mdnr-elicense.com or are available for purchase at state retail license agents.
In 2010, Michigan hunters harvested about 37,000 turkeys, making Michigan one of the top 10 turkey hunting states in the country. The goal of the spring turkey season is to maximize hunting opportunity and maintain high hunting quality. Currently, hunter satisfaction remains high, Stewart noted.
