Preference status is based on Wisconsin residency, land ownership, and preference points. Below are the preference categories, where 1 has the highest preference:. The more points you have, the higher you rank in your respective preference category. Preference points are cumulative, but they expire f you do not apply at least once in a 3-year period. Points are returned to zero upon receiving a turkey harvest authorization, or upon expiration. A resident that owns 50 or more contiguous acres within an open wild turkey management zone is eligible for first preference in that zone.
A qualified landowner may transfer his or her landowner preference status to an immediate family member, a resident farm operator, a family member of the operator or to a minor. Only one person can receive landowner preference for an individual parcel of land. Landowner preference does not apply in group applications unless every member of the group is eligible for, and claims, landowner preference.
A maximum of ten people who wish to hunt together may apply in the spring turkey drawing as a group. Each group must designate a group leader. Each member, including the leader , must write the group leader's DNR customer ID on their application in the designated section.
If group members have different preference levels, the lowest preference will be used for the group in the drawing. Landowner preference only applies to groups if every member of the group is eligible for, and claims, landowner preference.
