The 2018 spring turkey season runs April 23 through May 31, with several hunt periods to choose from.

Hunt 234 licenses go on sale over the counter, with no application required, on March 19. Hunt 234 offers the most days to hunt, valid from May 7-31, and is open statewide except public land in southern Michigan.
