Some areas have one season, others have two.
There are a fair number of birds within a 30-minute drive of downtown Detroit, but hunters must have a permit for any state hunting unit. There are 32 specific hunt areas open on peninsulas and 21 private-land turkey areas in the southern part of the state. The state Department of National Resources believes that 80 percent of the state's turkey population is found on private land. The DNR has kept track of turkey hunting firearm accidents since 1992, and Lt. Wild turkeys can be taken with a bow or shotgun.
