LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is reminding everyone that Mother’s Day is just a few days away and if you’re still looking for a gift for the special moms in your life, then you should look no further than a Pure Michigan Hunt application to tuck inside of your mom’s Mother’s Day card.

The DNR says to give your mom “a shot at the hunt of a lifetime and a hunting package worth thousands!”

The Pure Michigan Hunt (PMH) is a unique multi-species hunting opportunity. Individuals apply as many times as they like, and the winner will obtain licenses for the following species: one any-elk (only Michigan residents are eligible to obtain the elk license), one bear, one spring turkey, one fall turkey and one antlerless deer and one base license. In addition, the winner may have first pick at a hunting location at a managed waterfowl area during the reserved hunt period. All licenses must be purchased in the award year.

Besides all of the limited access licenses, three winners will receive a prize package from Michigan companies and organizations which includes some great hunting equipment. The prize package will vary from year to year based on what donations are received.

Each $5 Pure Michigan Hunt application helps fund Michigan’s wildlife habitat restoration and management. In order to apply, you have to be at least ten-years-old, have completed hunter safety training, and cannot be under a court-ordered license revocation.

Non-residents may apply, but only Michigan residents are eligible to obtain the elk license. Individuals who are ineligible for an elk license because of previous drawing success are still eligible for the PMH.

You can purchase PMH applications for other people, including your mom, by using their driver’s license or sportcard number to make the purchase, or you can purchase with your driver’s license or sportcard, and if selected as the winner, you can transfer your prizes and licenses to a person of your choosing.
