Apply by Jan. 27 for spring wild A and B season permits

  ......
Wild  ' have through Friday, Jan. 27, to apply for early season spring hunting permits.

The spring season lasts from Wednesday, April 12, to Wednesday, May 31, and has six time periods. Only firearms hunters age 18 and older who want to hunt during the first two time periods (A or B) need to apply by Jan. 27 for a spring turkey permit.

Permits for the remaining time periods (C-F), and permits for archery and youth hunters can be purchased over-the-counter starting March 1. Surplus adult licenses from the first two time periods, if available, are sold starting around mid-March. Archery and youth turkey hunters can hunt the entire season.

The sanctuary portions of Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area will be closed to turkey hunting and other public use for the first time this year, except for a special hunt for hunters with disabilities. Signs will mark the boundaries of these closed sanctuary areas. Carlos Avery WMA in Anoka and Chisago counties is turkey permit area 511.
