Applications and licenses may be purchased at any authorized license agent or online at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings.
The 2012 spring turkey season runs from April 23 through May 31, with hunts lasting from seven to 39 days, depending on the hunt unit. A total of 114,290 licenses are available, including 49,290 general licenses and 65,000 private-land licenses.

“Hunters looking for the greatest flexibility should consider Hunt 234, which runs May 7-31 and includes all open areas of the state except the public lands of southernMichigan,” said DNR Upland Game Bird Specialist Al Stewart.
Applicants can check whether they were drawn for a license beginning March 1 at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings. Any leftover licenses will be sold until the quota is met in each hunt unit and hunt period.
