Just wondering. If you have a permit for the early part of the season, and you are unsuccessful, can you buy an over the counter left over permit and continue hunting the rest of the season? I suppose I could ask the DNR, but thought I'd float the question here first.
No, from the Spring Turkey Hunting Guide (see last sentence).
How to Obtain a Spring Turkey License During the Jan. 1-Feb. 1 spring turkey application period, hunters may purchase a license for Hunt No. 234 (Guaranteed Hunt Period) OR apply for a limited-quota license for a specific spring turkey management unit (see map). Hunters also may wait to purchase a leftover limited-quota license after the drawing. Leftover licenses will be sold until the quota is met for each hunt unit and may not be available for some units. Those who purchase a Hunt No. 234 license during the application period will not be charged the $4 application fee. After Feb 1, Hunt No. 234 is available to unsuccessful applicants only (not available to those who did not apply). It is unlawful to obtain or purchase more than one spring turkey hunting license.
However, you can buy an OH turkey licens and try down there. They are over the counter.
