The application period for spring season permits closed Dec. 10. The drawing for permits will be held in late January. There are just under 213,000 permits available for the spring season. Any spring permits remaining after the drawing will go on sale over-the-counter at 10 a.m. March 28, 2008. The spring 2008 season runs April 16 through May 25. Wisconsin's second annual statewide youth turkey hunting season will he held April 12 and 13 in 2008.
Another change in fall 2008 turkey hunting season will be implemented as the state moves to consolidate the current 40-plus turkey management zones into seven larger zones (pdf). The move will give hunters more hunting opportunity over a wider area than the current system, which uses smaller zones, can provide.
Hunters wishing to get an early look at the 2008 Spring Turkey Hunting Regulations can do so now on the Hunting and Trapping Regulations page of the DNR Web site. The first of the six 5-day spring turkey hunting periods starts April 16, 2008.
