Pure Michigan Hunt

Winners of the 2012 Pure Michigan Hunt (PMH) may purchase one elk, bear, antlerless deer, spring turkey, and fall turkey hunting license at the cost of $3 per license, except that non-residents are not eligible to purchase the PMH elk license. Each PMH license is valid for the applicable 2012 species hunting season and may be used in any open hunt area for that species, except bear hunting on Drummond Island. Licenses shall be subject to all 2012 hunting regulations. PMH winners may also participate in one reserved waterfowl hunt at a managed waterfowl area. Individuals who have received an elk license through a prior elk drawing are eligible to apply for the PMH. Purchase of PMH licenses does not affect the hunter's eligibility to apply for or purchase other hunting licenses, and will not affect bear preference points or weighted elk chances the hunter has earned. PMH applicants must be at least 12 years old and eligible to purchase regular (non-apprentice) hunting licenses. Hunters may purchase as many PMH applications as they wish until Dec. 31, 2011. Drawing results will be posted at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings on Jan. 23, 2012.
