LANSING (AP) -- Hunters hoping to win the chance to participate in Michigan's "Hunt of a Lifetime" have just a short time left to enter the drawing.

Hunters can buy an unlimited number of $4 Pure Michigan Hunt applications before the Dec. 31 deadline.

Three hunters will be randomly selected as winners. Each will get licenses to hunt elk, bear, turkey, deer and waterfowl. Other prizes include ground blinds, crossbows, rifles and other hunting equipment.

Pure Michigan Hunt applications are available anywhere Department of Natural Resources licenses are sold or online at www.mdnr-elicense.com

The money raised is used to pay for wildlife habitat restoration and improvements in Michigan.
