MI DNR reminds hunters that there’s still time for fall turkey hunting

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that spring is not the only time to hunt turkeys – a majority of counties are open for fall turkey hunting.

“A fall turkey hunt is a pretty unique experience,” said DNR upland game bird specialist Al Stewart. “It’s an entirely different feeling when you’re out in the fall. The leaves are changing, and even better yet, no mosquitoes.”

Sept. 15 – Nov. 14 marks the fall turkey hunting season in 59 of 83 counties. Turkey licenses still are available in Units J, HA and YY, with a large number of licenses still available in Unit YY, a multicounty, private-land-only unit in southern Michigan that includes Beaver Island. Read more

Small Game Hunters Succeed with High-Impact, Low-Noise Quiet-22 Segmented HP

GW:  It would be helpful if velocity levels were included, but here it is anyway…
