Applying for a Turkey Permit

[Dean Schellinger]

With all this talk about applying for a turkey permit for the spring season, I am curious how it works. One of my hunting buddies said he would take me out if I got picked but dont know what it takes to apply for the permit.

What is the cost and where can I apply? Thanks

You can go to the DNR webpage and see a copy of the application. Its more of a worksheet really. There are a few questions you will need to have the answers to like what zone (permit area) you're hunting and what time frame (A-H). You can also pick a backup permit choice. They have maps of all the permit areas and the calander to see the time frames.

Just click on hunting and turkey. The rest os right there. You can also see harvest statistics and areas that are constant producers. Check out Jnelson's post about strategies for picking a permit.

I've hunted spring turkey only twice. I saw turkeys last year for the first time and hopefully this year I will get to shoot one. Its great fun and you can learn a lot. Buy a video or a call with a video and see what you can learn and what you're missing out on. Its awesome.

You can apply anywhere they sell licenses.The cost for the drawing will be 3.00.You will need to know the zone in which you want to hunt and also the season to apply.The place you get your app.will show you all you need to do.Very easy.
