I didnt receive a permit through the preference drawing, how can I still participate in the youth hunt?
Spring turkey permits that remain after the preference drawing will be made available for purchase until the time period and zone quotas are met. Leftover permit typically go on sale in late March. To participate in the Youth Hunt a permit, license, and stamp must be purchased. Youth may only hunt in the Turkey Management Zone their permit was issued for during the Youth Hunt. The only other option is if a person who received a turkey permit through the cumulative preference drawing process was to transfer their turkey permit and license to the youth by submitting a Transfer of License or Permit to Youth form 9400-403Y to the DNR. The application must be received at least 15 days before the season opens. This is a once in a lifetime transfer.
