Apply for turkey permits in Mille Lacs, Carlos Avery or Whitewater WMAs

Turkey hunters have until Friday, Feb. 17 to apply for turkey hunting permits for the A-C spring hunting seasons in Mille Lacs and Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Areas and the A-B seasons in Whitewater Wildlife Management Area.

 

In addition to a turkey license, a permit is required for hunters 18 and older hoping to bag a tom turkey with a firearm in one of these WMAs during early seasons. Turkey firearm permits for these WMAs are distributed via a lottery system. In a change this year, there is no permit required to hunt Whitewater WMA during the C season.

Turkey licenses will go on sale March 1 for several hunting seasons from mid-April to the end of May. Turkey hunting season dates and details for 2023 are available on the DNR turkey hunting page.
