All spring wild turkey hunting licenses will be sold using the electronic licensing system for Iowa (ELSI). Licenses may be purchased through ELSI license agents, by calling the ELSI telephone ordering system, or through the ELSI Internet license sales Web site.

(1) Spring wild turkey hunting licenses will be sold beginning December 15 through the last day of the season for which the license is valid.

(2) License quotas. There will be no quotas for combination shotgun-or-archery licenses or for archery-only licenses for resident hunters.

(3) Landowner/tenant licenses. An eligible landowner or tenant may obtain a free combination shotgun-or-archery license or a free archery-only license. Nonresident landowners are not eligible for free turkey hunting licenses.

a. Free combination shotgun-or-archery licenses. A free combination shotgun-or-archery license will be issued by season and will be valid only on the farm unit of the landowner or tenant.

b. Free archery-only licenses. A free archery-only license will be valid for all seasons but only on the farm unit of the landowner or tenant.

c. Number of licenses. One paid combination shotgun-or-archery license or one paid archery-only license may be obtained in addition to the free shotgun-or-archery license or the free archery-only license. If a free archery-only license and a paid combination shotgun-or-archery license are obtained, the shotgun-or-archery license must be for season 4. If a free shotgun-or-archery license and a paid shotgun-or-archery license are obtained, one of the licenses must be for season 4.
