Lt. Governor Cherry Said There's Still Time to Apply for 'Pure Michigan Hunt'   

 

Lieutenant governor also says Recreation Passport replaces state park sticker beginning October 1

 

(Lansing, MI) – August 17, 2010 - Lt. Governor John D. Cherry, Jr. said that applications for the ‘Pure Michigan Hunt’ are still available for purchase and also reminded people that starting October 1, the Recreation Passport replaces the state park sticker.

 

"Hunting is a proud tradition for many of us in Michigan," Cherry said.  "It challenges us to perform at our best while appreciating Michigan's matchless forests, wildlife and environment."

 

"Hunters still can purchase applications for the Pure Michigan Hunt now through December 31," Cherry said.  "The Pure Michigan Hunt drawing on January 24 will award three lucky individuals the opportunity to hunt for elk, bear, spring and fall wild turkey, and antlerless deer." 

 

"The three winners also will have first pick of hunting sites at managed waterfowl areas during the reserved hunt period," Cherry continued.  "Hunters can purchase as many applications for the Pure Michigan Hunt drawing as they wish.  Applications are $4 and sold at license retailers."

 

"Also, for everyone who enjoys visiting our state parks, remember that starting October 1, the Recreation Passport replaces the park sticker that you normally buy," Cherry said.  "At $10, it's a bargain for regular park visitors who've been paying $24 a year for the sticker.  So beginning October 1, when you renew your license plates, check ‘yes' on your license plate renewal form for the Recreation Passport and support outdoor recreation in Michigan."

 

"The Recreation Passport does more than give you entry to all 98 state parks and recreation areas in Michigan," Cherry said.  "It also helps to preserve 133 state forest campgrounds; nearly 1,000 miles of hiking, biking and skiing trails; more than 1,000 boat launches; and historic and cultural sites in state parks."
