Looks like the winning landowner applications have been added to the MN DNR website.

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/turkey/index.html

According to the MN DNR spring turkey application if you were a successful landowner you need to allow hunting on your property throughout the entire season. If a person did not want to hunt on public land I would go to the landowners and ask them for permission to hunt their land. If they say no you turn them into the MN DNR and if they say yes you are more than likely by yourself in their woods. There are over 30 pages of names, addresses and size of their property to choose from. You could easily search them by city.

LANDOWNER/TENANT SPECIAL DRAWING
Up to 20 percent of the permits for each wild turkey permit area and time period will be issued by computer selection to applicants who live as landowners or tenants on 40 acres or more of land within the wild turkey permit area for which they have applied. The qualifying land may be non-
contiguous. Members of the immediate landowner or tenant family, and living on the qualifying property are also eligible for this drawing.
Landowners/tenants who qualify for the landowner special drawing will need to provide the following information when applying at the ELS-POS agent to be eligible--the qualifying land is located in: county number (see map), township number, range number, section number, number of acres,
and your day-time telephone number. Invalid applications will be rejected without notice. Qualified landowners or tenants who are successful in this special drawing must allow turkey hunting on their land during the entire
turkey-hunting season. Information on the location of such land will be available to other turkey hunters at the DNR website after the
drawing.

that law is kind of a bogus law!!!??? a land owner should be able to say no i have a group coming to hunt my land he owns & pays taxes on why punish him because he wants 2 draw a land owner tag??? i mean its good law for folks that want to bulldog there way onto somebody's property but if they said no i couldn't turn them into the MNDNR that's just wrong & there choice... that law will lead to more & more land owners joining us in the regular draw & not applying as a land owner i think??? what if the land owners just dont answer the door??? can we call johnny law on them??? lol
