I read on the dnr site that they have extended the application for spring until January once the holiday season has passed. should be easier to remember than in December!!!!

Don't worry, we'll help you remember.

I won't be putting in for the spring as my step son is getting married in May and that's when I've drawn my non-res WI tag the last 2 years. I need to find a place here in MN to turkey hunt.

Sure glad I can simply buy my 2 spring tags over the counter!

Sure with it wasn't so far to hunt a mountain state.......

I don't think the holidays are a problem as much as it being right after deer season and right after thanksgiving. If a person is not hunting family land or leased land its difficult to pick a zone to hunt.

I'm thinking I might try an out of state hunt this coming spring. We'll see. Anything I can do to extend my season.

I already put my application in. Great, now all you procrastinators (sp) will have more time to remember thus reducing my chances at getting drawn.

the outdoor news said the deadline is december 5th!

Jan.9 the the new deadline for applications.

Yeah I saw that..... mine's going in tomorrow anyway!

Minnesota resident spring turkey hunters must apply by Friday, January 9, 2009, at any of the 1,800 ELS-POS agents throughout the state. A $3.00 application fee will be charged. This fee must be paid at the time of application at the ELS-POS vendor and is non-refundable. Residents may also apply through the Instant Licenses System (1-888-665-4236) or over the Internet (www.dnr.state.mn.us). An additional $3.50 convenience fee will be charged for applications made through the Instant License System or over the Internet.

HMMM... Both my neighbor's and my last issue says Jan. 9 in the little box at the bottom of the front page. That's weird.

I had to check here instead of the DNR website to confirm though. It's more fun.

I will be putting my app in with my group. We are doubling in size this year. I started doing this by myself 4 years ago knowing absolutely nothing other than it sounded like a blast and was a way to extend my hunting.

Now I've hunted with 4 different people and plan on applying with 3 of them this year as a group. The other is my little sister and I might end up "guiding" her and my dad for their first hunt. Its so much fun to share that passion.

Oh yeah and I've taken one bird

this was the Nov.21st edition

almost missed it glad the dnr gave us more time.
good luck turkey hunters!

I talked to a buddy of mine and his girlfriend has relatives by Kenyon, MN. We're gonna apply and see if we get lucky on our first time. Man, I hope so!!!
