Hook & Hunting: Deadline Approaching for Spring Turkey Hunting Applications

The application period for the spring turkey hunt is about to close, but there is still time to get yours.

The 2018 spring turkey hunting applications can be bought now through Feb. 1.

You can pick one up anywhere hunting licenses are sold.

The spring turkey season runs April 23 through May 31.

The DNR says it’s a great time to get out and still hunt after deer hunting season.

“It’s a more active hunt versus most people’s deer hunting experience. The birds are more vocal for that time of the year. You’re normally calling or moving around to find birds. It’s the time of the year where there is no real other hunting opportunities,” explained Vernon Richardson, a DNR wildlife biologist.

Beginning March 5, applicants can check whether they were drawn for a license.

Any leftover licenses will be sold until the quota is met in each hunt unit and hunt period.

Hunters may purchase one spring turkey license.
