The last 2 years, I have killed a turkey on my own property on opening day and checked them in using the landowner license exemption.
Do I need to buy a turkey license now if I want to accompany my children or friends on turkey hunts on either public property or other private land that I do not own? I would not carry a weapon, but would participate in calling and other aspects of the hunt.
Are there any problems that could arise from me being in possession of an unfilled turkey license after I have already filled my 1 bird limit?

****I have attached part of the Administrative Code that discusses the answer to your question.
(4) Call wild turkeys for another individual unless licensed in accordance with subsection (j) or (k). The individual who calls the wild turkey may have already harvested a wild turkey.
(j) An individual may take a wild turkey during the spring season established under subsection (a) only if: (1) issued a license to hunt wild turkeys with: (A) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-11-10(b); (B) a resident spring turkey license under IC 14-22-11-10(a) or IC 14-22-12-1(a)(20); (C) a nonresident spring turkey license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(21); (D) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(24); (E) a nonresident youth spring turkey license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(27); (F) a lifetime comprehensive hunting license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(4) before its repeal; (G) a lifetime comprehensive hunting and fishing license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(5) before its repeal; or (H) an apprentice spring turkey hunting license under IC 14-22-12-1.7; or (2) hunting under IC 14-22-11-1.
(k) An individual may take a wild turkey during the fall season established under subsection (b) only if: (1) issued a license to hunt wild turkeys with: (A) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-11-10(b); (B) a resident fall turkey license under IC 14-22-11-10(a) or IC 14-22-12-1(a)(22); (C) a nonresident fall turkey license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(23); (D) a resident youth consolidated hunting license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(24); (E) a nonresident youth fall turkey license under IC 14-22-12-1(a)(28); (F) a lifetime comprehensive hunting license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(4) before its repeal; (G) a lifetime comprehensive hunting and fishing license under IC 14-22-12-7(a)(5) before its repeal; or (H) an apprentice fall turkey hunting license under IC 14-22-12-1.7; or (2) hunting under IC 14-22-11-1
*****An officer will have a way to check the Point Of Sale system to see that you checked a turkey in as a landowner. It will be a matter of you just letting the officer know what you are doing (Calling for child or friend). If you don't want to purchase a license you can still participate in the hunt but only as an OBSERVER. You CANNOT assist in the hunt in any fashion, including calling for the hunter. *******
