EHarvest tags available for spring turkey this year
New for spring turkey season, hunters now have the option to get an electronic kill tag (eHarvest tag) through the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish app. Purchasing your tag this way means you can get it instantly! Many states now use electronic tags for turkeys as this option becomes more common across the country.
To use an electronic tag on your harvested turkey, you must use the app to buy. Paper tags are not an option for spring turkey when purchasing in the app. When you purchase your spring turkey license through the app, your eHarvest tag will be available on your mobile device immediately. You must be able to present the eHarvest tag on a mobile device while in the field. You will not receive a paper kill tag.
