Wisconsin Turkey Season and Regulations 2022

Bonus harvest authorizations will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Each zone will have a designated sales date. The first zone will go on sale March 21. Hunters may buy leftover harvest authorizations on a one-per-day basis until they are sold out, or the season is over. In the state of Wisconsin, all turkey hunters must possess a valid spring turkey license and wild turkey stamp when they acquire their spring turkey harvest authorization.
