Deadline is Aug. 2
for fall turkey tags

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds sportsmen and -women that Monday, Aug. 2, is an important harvest permit application deadline for turkey hunters, trappers and sturgeon spearers.

Applications are due for the fall turkey, Horicon and Collins zones Canada goose, sharp tailed grouse, bobcat, fisher, otter and Upriver Lakes sturgeon spearing seasons.

After Aug. 2, any remaining fall turkey permits will go on sale beginning at noon Aug. 28. Leftover fall turkey permits can be purchased at a rate of one per day until zones are sold out.

“It’s easy to apply for these permits through any license vendor or through the DNR Online Licensing Center,” said Dave Argall, DNR permit sales coordinator. “Our DNR information line staff can also help answer any questions folks may have about the permit application process.”

The line is staffed by live operators 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week at 1-(888) 936-7463 (WDNR-INFo).

The 2010 fall turkey season will run statewide from Sept. 18 through Nov. 18. There also will be a late season in turkey management Zones 1-5 only from Nov. 29 through Dec. 31.
