Well first let me say - this is hunting and you'll need to hunt for a spot.

And hunting in today's light is a Priveledge and NOT a right. Your tone of your post still does bother me. But then you are dealing with an old guy while you have a ways to catch up to my age from what I understand. I do wish you luck.

And since I do teach Hunter Education and am certified in the state of Wisconsin - yes I don't think a hunter under the age of 12 should be allowed. I see very few that are MATURE enough to handle this adult responsibility. So let's leave it at that.

Area 29 is my home ground - I would start by calling the local DNR service center and ask to speak to a DNR Warden - he/she cold help and give you areas. One over looked area is around Burlington and the Honey Creek Wildlife area. I have seen birds there.Area 29 does hold birds but not as many as further west.

Area 25 is Dodge, part of Waukesha, Washingtonand Ozaukeecounty. I have seen turkeys around Beaver Dam, Allentown, Cedar Grove, & - many small pulbic tracts there and again contact that local area Warden. She is a very nice lady and may put you onto some people she might allow hunters with private land.
Wish I could be more help but I hunt further West around Mauston.

Oh I also have seen turkeys in the area of HWY 151 and Hwy 19 towards Dane county.

Area 29 does have seasons 4, 5 & 6 with permits. To my knowledge they go on sale either on line - at a DNR service center - or at a local license dealer on March 23rd. If it is like last year (was the 1st time) you can buy one kill tag per day per hunter.

Area 25 only has 6th season available and that right there should tell you something. They have more birds!

Now ever since I started turkey hunting this state - my home state - I never had a chance at a second kill tag. Last year I had 3 all in the late season and filled everyone of them and shot NO Jakes. So the opportunity is there and as I said you got to work for it. I have done lots of door knocking - lots of letter writing and lots of car scouting to get where I am with private land to hunt. It is there - it all depends how you go about it.

I do wish you success!
Stay Safe out there.
