It also reflects the shift in focus for the fall season – from population control to providing more recreational opportunity.

     Important reminders for the 2025 fall turkey season are as follows:

• No application period – just purchase your license online at eLicense, through the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish app or at a license retailer. Fall turkey licenses will go on sale Aug. 15 at 10 a.m.
