Thanksgiving isn’t far off. It’s time to hunt some turkeys.

Michigan’s fall turkey season is on the horizon with many hunters looking forward to enjoying the changing seasons while pursuing a gobbler for a holiday meal.

Hundreds of people are expected to take to the woods in the coming weeks, but the Department of Natural Resources is reminding the public that there’s plenty you need to know before you go.

Season dates and bag limit

The fall turkey season is Sept. 15 through Nov. 14. You can purchase one fall turkey license per year, which is valid for one bird of either sex on public and private lands within the designated fall turkey management unit.

This year there are new turkey management units. Two large units have replaced the old 11-unit system.
