Wisconsin DNR To Sell 2023 Bonus Spring Turkey Harvest Authorizations Starting Monday

Saturday, March 18th, 2023 -- 7:26 AM

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will begin selling 2023 bonus spring turkey harvest authorizations on Monday, with a designated sale date for each zone.

Previously known as leftover permits, bonus harvest authorizations are available for purchase through the DNR's online license portal at GoWild.Wi.Gov or at all license agents. Sales begin at 10 a.m. and run through midnight each day. Hunters who want additional harvest authorizations or who missed the spring turkey drawing deadline last December can purchase bonus authorizations beginning this Monday.

Hunters are encouraged to check the turkey zone map and the spring turkey bonus harvest authorization availability to see if harvest authorizations are available for the period and turkey zone they wish to hunt. Bonus harvest authorizations are $10 for residents and $15 for non-residents. 

Spring Turkey season dates are as follows: Youth Hunt: April 15–16; Period A: April 19–25; Period B: April 26–May 2; Period C: May 3–9; Period D: May 10–16; Period E: May 17–23; and Period F: May 24–30.
