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.

In Wisconsin, bonus fall turkey authorizations go on sale beginning at 10 a.m. today, but there are none in northeastern counties. Several thousand are available in western and southern areas of the state.
