Turkey Permit Time!!!
Just a friendly reminder to folks that you have to have until February 1st to get your Turkey Hunting permits bought. If you happen to forget you may still have a chance to pick up a left over after the draw, but better to be certain and get them now.
In 1991 my dad and I didn’t draw a spring permit for our area so we were forced to grab a left over permit in the UP. We wound up with tags for over near Iron Mountain. We had not spent much time over in that neck of the woods so our first couple days were all scouting missions. In fact we hunted for 5 days and with the exception of the half dozen jakes we saw under the birdfeeder at the motel where we stayed we never saw a bird. We did however stumble into many nice patches of morels and wound up taking a cooler full back down state. I love turkey hunting, but I have to say those morels tasted better than any turkey I ever harvested.
