Thanks for posting Don. Just got done making my list of days I want to pull an extra permit for. This spring might work out to hunt a few extra weekends and take some newbies hunting.

[DonBo]

I'm already getting plenty of hunting days in this spring, I hope to get one of these surplus tags so I can shoot a double.

Take me, take me! I'm a WI newb!

Don I was lucky to pull my first double last spring. The last 3 or 4 years we have had two tags to fill. Nice to always have that extra tag in the pocket.

My old man lives over in WI and the birds are gobbling there heads off each morning. My land owneer just sent me an e-mail to tell me he's seeing a group of toms strutting every morning right now. Good luck to pulling an extra tag. Only 80,000 left over.

I have a meeting on the 24th (when zone 4 goes on sale)......gonna need a bathroom break at 10:00 am I guess

[DonBo]

Hoyt, nice to have those locals letting you know what's happening right now huh?

Nate, 10:00 IS breaktime you know.... But I'm guessing there'll still be plenty left over at noon, or April.

Picked up my surplus tag for season C April 27th - May 1st.

Tomorrow going to pick one up for later in May.

Thursday I will try my luck and get one for zone 4 for my regular season.

And here I am fretting over getting one lousy surplus tag here in MN. I think a move across the river is in order.

Been trying to tell ya!

At first I thought I was being greedy.

Then after this weekend going to NE scouting I just love being in the turkey woods too much. This might be the only spring where I can do this. Most years I have early ball tourneys but for some reason they are all falling on different times and I will be able to hunt more and hope to do more video's this spring.

Don your right about WI for the tags.

I will have my sister out on season C. She has never gone so I'm hoping to get her hooked. I will be hunting her Father inlaw farm.

No need to feel guilty when there's almost 48,000 left-over tags. Guess if they want us to shoot 'em, we should probably take up the challenge.

Purchased a tag zone 1 earlier today! It will be my first time hunting turkey's in Wisconsin. I have only previously hunted them in South Dakota. Can't wait!!!

[Shu]

Picked up a surplus E to go with my D in Zone 4. Can't wait for the season to start and get my kids on some early birds too!

[DonBo]

Got my surplus this morning. Looking forward to taking my first Wisconsin "double".

[Hoyt4]

Good luck Don, always nice to be able to try for a double.

[HNTNBUX]

I got my surplus D at 10:00:23 this am and I will try for season E tomorrow. Wisconsin has the best deal around for turkeys. It is shaping up to be another busy spring.

[Abndoc]

picked up a surplus...zone 4. may 18-22

[hugonian1]

Picked up a surplus E tag in zone 4.

Never hunted Wisconsin before so I am looking forward to a new experience.

Have access to 160 acres in the Ellsworth area.

Don't know what to expect but the land owner says he sees turkeys all of the time.

We shall see.
