Purchasing your tag through the DNR Hunt Fish App gets you the license instantly. 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.Â
To use an electronic tag for your harvested turkey, you must purchase your license through the Hunt Fish mobile app, as paper tags are not available for spring turkey when buying in the app. Once purchased, your eHarvest tag will be immediately accessible on your mobile device. While in the field, you must be able to present the eHarvest tag on your device, as no paper kill tag will be issued. Read more about eHarvest tags.
