We know that many of you are gearing up for spring turkey season, which begins Saturday, April 18. The hunt is still on, and we hope you’ll get the opportunity to harvest a gobbler this year!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent executive orders aimed at protecting public health and safety, we are encouraging people to hunt close to home. This means that some of you may have turkey tags for areas that you wont be traveling to this spring. The following information will help you get the tag you need for your spring turkey hunt.
* If you *have already purchased and have in your possession* a 2020 spring turkey kill tag that is for an area far from home, visit Michigan.gov/HuntLocal [ https://www2.dnr.state.mi.us/HarvestReg/Survey/12?utm_campaign=turkey+license+options&utm_medium=mkt+email&utm_source=govdelivery ] to receive an authorization number to convert your existing tag into a Hunt 0234 [ https://www.michigan.gov/documents/dnr/Spring_Turkey_Digest_443091_7.pdf?utm_campaign=turkey+license+options&utm_medium=mkt+email&utm_source=govdelivery#page=11 ] tag. Hunt 0234 is a statewide hunting license valid May 1-31 for public and private lands, *except public lands in Unit ZZ* (southern Lower Peninsula). This license is valid to hunt Fort Custer military lands with permission. Fill out the website form, click the SUBMIT button and youll be assigned a unique confirmation number. Write this number on your current 2020 spring turkey kill tag to convert that tag into a Hunt 0234 tag. This will allow you to hunt in your chosen hunt area closer to home.
* If you were successfully drawn for a spring 2020 turkey license that is a long distance from your home and you *have not already purchased* a turkey license, you don’t have to purchase the license that you were awarded in the drawing. Instead, you can search forleftover licenses [ https://www.mdnr-elicense.com/Draw/Leftovers?utm_campaign=turkey+license+options&utm_medium=mkt+email&utm_source=govdelivery ]and easily complete a purchase online [ http://www.mdnr-elicense.com/?utm_campaign=turkey+license+options&utm_medium=mkt+email&utm_source=govdelivery ].
