The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has a reminder for turkey hunters.

Hunters who want to get in the field early for the 2010 spring turkey hunt must apply by Friday wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold.

Adult hunters may apply for one of nearly 57,000 permits to hunt a five- or seven-day season in one of 77 permit areas.

Hunters age 17 and younger no longer need to apply for the lottery. They can purchase a spring turkey permit for any permit area and any time period directly from a license agent.

Applicants choose one of eight time periods in which to hunt.

A new rule effective in 2010 allows hunters not selected in the permit lottery to purchase a permit in any area for one of the hunt's last two time periods.
