Remaining permits for the 2010 spring turkey hunting season will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 10 a.m. Monday.
Leftover permits will be first issued for sale by zone, one zone per day, with each zone having a designated sales date.
There were 225,729 permits available for the spring 2010 turkey season. More than 149,000 permits were issued to hunters who applied for permits by the Dec. 10 application deadline, leaving more than 76,000 permits available after the drawing.
Sales continue through midnight each day or until permits are all sold. These sales will be held for five consecutive days with customers able to purchase one permit per day. Any remaining leftover permits for all zones go on sale March 27, and continue until sold out or the season ends.
The following zones have leftover permits. The scheduled sales dates are: Zone 1, Monday; Zone 2, Tuesday; Zone 3, Wednesday; Zone 4, Thursday; and Zone 5 and 6, Friday.
There are no leftover permits available for Zone 7.
A limited number of disabled-only turkey permits for state park areas is available among leftover permits. Disabled hunters who have been issued either a Class A or Class C Disabled Hunter Permit should visit a DNR Service Center or call the DNR Customer Call Center at 1-888-936-7463, beginning Monday.
