The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds families, mentors and young hunters there’s still time to plan for the 2023 youth turkey hunt happening statewide April 15-16. Each year, the youth turkey hunt gives hunters under 16 the opportunity to gain valuable hunting experience and feel the excitement of turkey season before the regular season begins. The wild turkey is one of Wisconsin’s wildlife management success stories. A key part of the success of the wild turkey management program can be attributed to hunters purchasing the Wild Turkey Stamp, which provides vital financial support for future opportunities for turkey management and hunting in Wisconsin. Youth hunters must have a spring turkey license, stamp and valid harvest authorization for any period. All of these are available online at gowild.wi.gov.
