‘Pretty good’ spring season expected for Michigan hunters with turkey numbers holding steady

Unseasonably warm temperatures have prompted thousands of hunters across Michigan to start thinking about spring turkey hunting. The season, which opens April 20, is a little more than a month away. Now is the time to get out and scout your hunting area to determine where birds are roosting and where they go after leaving the roost. (Stock photo)

Michigan turkey hunters can expect a spring hunting season very similar to last year according to DNR Turkey Specialist Adam Bump.

Although the Department of Natural Resources’ 2023 turkey harvest report was not yet available at press time, Bump said he didn’t expect much of a change in the harvest or hunter participation than that of the 2022 season. In 2022, 76,547 spring turkey hunters combined to kill as estimated 32,461 bearded turkeys for a 42% success rate  according to the DNR’s report from that season.
