Last chance to purchase 2013 bear and elk hunting applications

The Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the application period to purchase a bear or elk hunting application ends June 1.

Hunters can apply online at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings, at any authorized license agent or at a DNR Customer Service Center. A nonrefundable $4 fee is charged at the time of application. Hunters may purchase only one application for each species.

Drawing results may be checked online at www.michigan.gov/huntdrawings beginning June 24 for both species.

For more information on the application process and hunting of bear or elk, check the 2013 Michigan Bear Hunting Digest, the 2013 Michigan Elk Hunting Digest, or online at www.michigan.gov/hunting. All hunting digests can be found online at www.michigan.gov/dnrdigests, at local DNR Customer Service Centers, or at a license agent.
