IRON MOUNTAIN — Fall turkey licenses are now on sale in Michigan with a quota of 2,200 for the Upper Peninsula.
There is no longer a drawing for fall turkey licenses and a hunter can purchase one per year, valid for one turkey of any sex. Licenses will be sold until the quota is met.
You can purchase a license over the counter from a license agent, online at Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses or through the DNR Hunt Fish app. Hunters who purchase a fall turkey license through the DNR Hunt Fish app will receive a digital eHarvest tag on their mobile device immediately.
To receive a physical tag, purchase your license at a license agent or online. After an online purchase, a paper kill tag will be mailed in seven to 10 business days.
Season dates are Sept. 15 through Nov. 14.
