Turkey Permits

[NELS-BELLS]

Foot-

That sounds pretty cool. If I am fortunate enough to bag one this year, I will take you up on that.

My Dad and I are hunting 425E this year and I can't wait. He is 65 and doesn't get around very well. Two years ago I put in on a spot and then set up about 80 yards away and watched him shoot the first Turkey of his life. I felt like a proud father. He was so excited! I will never forget that as long as I live. This year my 6 year old son wants to go out with us. Hopefully he will get a chance to watch one of us call one in and shoot it.

Good luck to all of you.

How does the landowner thing work? I got drawn for 343-A and was just planning on hunting public land. Can I contact any landowner for 343 or does it have to be 343-A? Or is that the season the landowner is hunting?

Hey Foot - That sounds great. Hopefully I can take you up on the offer. What could be better than calling one in with a previous knock down?

Superfish:

Sorry for the late response. You can contact any landowner from the list in 343, and they should let you hunt. However, the "A" season can be tough, especially when landowners have their season just around the corner, and are now "supposed" to hunt only their land they put up for public hunting.

I would recommend doing whatever scouting you can, and asking private landowners with large holdings in your permit area.

Good luck!

The landowner list is now available on the DNR HSOforum, FYI.

jnelson,

Thanks for the info. I may end up going down there this week and start scouting the public land.
