MichiganHuntr1 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I am depressed I got the notice in the Mail that I didnt get drawn for a turkey permit. I can still buy the ZZ Permit, but thats in southern michigan, south of the area I can turkey Hunt. I have no land in the ZZ area, lol. So....looks like I wont be turkey hunting this year. The late season stinks, so odds are I wont even get a response in late season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaDeerHunter Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Re: Depressed Residents of MI have to draw for a turkey tag? Is the population that low or what is the reason behind that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Re: Depressed That stinks Dustin! That's not as bad as here, you have to take a special course and write a test to be even allowed to hunt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed that stinks. I would go out to the land you can hunt and still call them just take pictures or video tape them. It would be good practice for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed Hate to hear that. We dont have to do a thing to hunt them just buy your Lic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MD_ Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed Here is western Montana we have to apply for tags too. In the county I live in they only give out 30 tags. I had 40 birds in my yard just the other day. But things are getting better. Counties that use to be draw are now just over the counter. Maybe some day I can hunt around my house with out having to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed That sucks! Nick lives in Michigan and I guess he didn't get drawn either. I'm glad in NY we can just go and buy our permits...although the turkeys on the land I hunt are like gone and I'm gonna have to hunt elsewhere.

wtnhunt Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed That is too bad. Hope you get something worked out. Dont have to get drawn here for spring birds, but there were not many turkeys here before they reintroduced them in the area abotu 8 or 9 years ago.

JimPic Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed That does suck!In Pa.,you get 2 turkey tags when you buy your general license.One for the Spring gobbler season and 1 for the fall season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed Not sure what the problem is Michiganders, I got mine, I never put in for that draw, I just bought the guarantee license you can get for $15.00. The early hunt is nice but so is hunting most of May and you will see birds, I can guarantee it!! I hated be limited to 6 or 7 days of hunting and weather permitting!! So your still in luck, seeing you put in you CAN still buy a leftover license. You still can hunt. The draw is for those that want the early hunts at the end of April but remember that is ONLY a 6 to 7 day long hunt. Mine goes from May 7th to the 31st and I didn't have to waste $4.00 for that draw they had!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exturkinator Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed You'll be alright - I didn't get drawn either - but I'll do what ATL did - get the gaurenteed hunt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed Hardly a reason to be "depressed". Sad...sure. You can just be sad. Sorry to hear that you didn't get drawn. Don't be "sad" too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Re: Depressed I have hunted the last season several times with good luck. You must have some sort of public land near you to hunt ?? Start scouting around and you will find someplace to get out. I wish you good luck. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
