SB 773

Under current law, in addition to having a wild turkey hunting license and a

valid wild turkey hunting stamp in order to hunt wild turkey in a wild turkey

hunting zone or during a wild turkey hunting season time period (for example, one

week during a longer wild turkey hunting season) established by the Department of

Natural Resources, a person must also have a wild turkey hunting authorization

that is valid for that zone and that season time period. This bill allows two holders

of wild turkey hunting authorizations for different season time periods in the spring

to exchange those hunting authorizations by each applying to DNR to transfer his

or her hunting authorization to the other. The bill requires the application to be

submitted to DNR no later than the first day of the earlier of the season time periods,

limits a person to one such transfer per year, and prohibits a person from receiving

consideration for such a transfer.
