The intent of the spring turkey season is to provide opportunity to all hunters while maintaining high-quality turkey hunting, said Department of Natural Resources upland game bird biologist Al Stewart. Hunt 234 is a great way for anyone to get out hunting this spring, with a month of hunting and the ability to buy your license over the counter without an application.
Hunt 234 is a statewide hunting license valid for all open areas, except public lands in the southern Lower Peninsula (Hunt Unit ZZ). The Hunt 234 license can be purchased at any time throughout the May 1-May 31 season.
