turkey liscence

[monczunski]

i did not win during this years drawing. i wanted the first or second week for the K unit but did not get it. there are no leftover liscences now. i want to get one for the zz unit.when i go to buy it do i have a choice for which week i wanna hunt or do they give me any week that wasnt drawn?

Late season is the whole month of May. Buy it anytime with proof that you were in the drawing.

All of the info you need is in the 06 guide.

I can't answer that question. BUT

Why not buy a 234 permit and be able to hunt the whole month of May in K or every where else open to turkey hunting in the state except public lands in the ZZ area?

[Thunderhead]

BTW , how many counties are you from ? lol

I Did Not Want The May Hunt Because I Have Hunted It Before And I Couldnt Even Get The Birds To Respond Because They Already Got Around To The Hens.. I Was Hoping I Could Pick When I Wanted To Hunt...

I would still go for the 234 hunt. May can be great hunting but you have to be patient. The birds are more wary but many times will come in silent. Hunt late morning through mid day and call very little and wait. Even if they are with hens, the hens will leave them later in the morning to sit the nest and the tom's will go looking for different hens to breed.

Hunt 234 all the way. Gives you a whole month of nice weather to get a bird. Be patient. If you have birds on your properties you can get one to come in. Keep practing your calling and use a decoy. If had great luck with the 234 hunt.
