The 2002 Spring Turkey Hunting Guide from DNR says:
Resident hunters born after Jan. 1, 1972 and non-resident hunters born after Jan. 1, 1967.
The DNR website says:
anyone born after January 1, 1967 must be certified in hunter education
This looks like a change to me for resident hunters since the turkey guide is newer.
Perhaps Blind Sow can clarify/explain.
