Picked up one for Zone 1 last night. I will get another for zone four Thursday.

How does the WISC. turkey license work? Do you get a permit/tag with the original turkey license purchase? Then buy more permit/tags if you want to shoot more than 1 turkey, kind of like our deer license?

How many turkeys can you shoot? Or how many tags can you buy?

I looked on the web site but couldn't seem to find definite answers.

[DonBo]

You can buy one left-over tag per day, until they are sold out.

One thing I think you are asking... you do need to purchase a license first. If you were drawn in the lottery, you buy that license and then the left over tag(s). So you can walk out the 1st day with two tags... and buy one more tag each subsequent day if you choose.

If you were not drawn in the lottery or did not apply, you still need to buy a license (no tag with this though) and then the left over tag. So you will walk out that day with one tag and you can buy one addl. per day...

Hope this helps clear things up...

Good Luck!

Thank you LABS that does help alot! I did not apply so that is where I was getting confused.

So is the number of birds you can shoot dictated by the amount of left over tags you can get your hands on, not a limit set by the wi dnr?

Just curious.

[DonBo]

Yes, you can purchase and use as many tags as you can get your hands on. I love turkey hunting Wisconsin!

[SandPoint]

That does sound like a pretty good time! I wish MN wasn't one and done.

[Hoyt4]

MN does not have as many birds as the states around us. Good thing we are so close to great turkey hunting besides here. SD ,WI are great place to head for some more hunting.

Just because you can buy a lot of tags doesn't mean there are tons of birds to shoot, or that you should decimate the flock in your spot. Numbers seem low where I hunt, there are birds, but once I hit the woods last year they were very few and far between.

Just picked up another tag for zone 4. I have 3 tags for WI as of now and maybe pick up one more. Can't wait for the season to be here.

Just got me extra for Zone 4. Still a bunch left.
