Just one tag here in Michigan. We have an early season, 2 weeks toward the end of April, then a late season which lasts thru the month of May. If you take the early hunt and don't get a bird your done. You can't get a tag for the late season. Plus the short early season you have to pay 4 bucks and apply for a tag, late tags are sold over the counter. I think the short season and extra 4 bucks causes a lot of people to opt for the late season. Thats why i always hunt the early one. Rare anymore do i come across another turkey hunter, eaven on my public land spot.
