#387 - Wild Turkey Stamp
Description
A Wild Turkey Stamp is required for any person 16 years of age and older when hunting turkey, unless exempt from purchasing a license (see exemption details below). Included with the Stamp are three Wild Turkey Game Checks and a physical commemorative stamp (not received with in-store purchases). For hunters who choose not to use the MDWFP HuntFish app to submit their Game Checks, physical tags must be obtained by purchasing the Stamp in person at a license vendor. Physical tags must be notched at the point of harvest and attached to the turkey’s leg before moving. Hunters utilizing physical tags then have until 10:00 PM to report the harvest via the website or by calling 1-800-BE-SMART. For more information on Tagging and Game Checks, visit our Wild Turkey Game Check page.
