Leftover spring turkey licenses go on sale to unsuccessful license applicants at 10 a.m. Monday, March 9. Licenses go on sale to all other hunters, including those who did not participate in the application process, at 10 a.m. Monday, March 16. Leftover licenses will be sold until quotas are met.

“Hunters looking for the greatest flexibility may wish to purchase a Hunt 234 license, which will be available March 16 at 10 a.m.,” said DNR upland game bird specialist Al Stewart. “The Hunt 234 license is valid from May 4-31 and includes all open areas of the state except the public lands of southern Michigan. New this year, hunters may purchase Hunt 234 through May 31.”

Hunting licenses can be purchased online at www.mdnr-elicense.com. Hunters may purchase only one spring turkey license in a season.
