Most turkey hunters do not realize toms gobble and respond to calls in the fall too.
Yes it is true Wisconsin has available more turkey permits than they sell each year in units 1,3 and 4. However, in the other units; 2,5,6 and 7 turkey permits are available to those who enter the drawing, sometimes there are no or very few permits available for over the counter sales. The application deadline is August 1 and you may apply online, phone or in person at a license agent.
I posted details on all fall appllication deadlines here
