Michigan's Spring 2017 Wild Turkey Season and Hunt 234

Anyone Can Hunt Wild Turkey During Michigan's Spring Season Hunt 234!

Michigan's long awaited guaranteed spring turkey hunt, Hunt 234, started Monday May 1st. Hunt 234 is a statewide hunting license valid for all open areas, except public land in the Southern Lower Peninsula. The Hunt 234 license can be purchased any time throughout the May 1-May 31 season.

Every resident or nonresident who hunts in Michigan needs an annual base license. Once the base license is purchased, hunters can buy a spring turkey license. You can buy your Hunt 234 license over the counter and without an application. You may purchase your license in person at a DNR Customer Service Center, or anywhere hunting and fishing licenses are sold. A turkey license includes a kill tag, which must be attached to the turkey immediately when harvested.

Promote Turkey Hunting and Habitat
You can help maintain and manage turkey habit and the future of Michigan's wild turkey hunts, by purchasing a commemorative 2017 Wild Turkey Cooperator Patch from the Michigan Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. Young hunters, 17 years and younger, who have a valid wild turkey license may receive a free patch. Adult hunters or other interested individuals may purchase the patch for $5.00 Plus shipping and handling, from the National Wild Turkey Federation.
