you need to be a licensed hunter but you dont need to have a permit.

This is correct. As long as you and the youth hunter are licensed, only the youth hunter is required to have the turkey permit. Moreover, the youth permit is good on youth day, and every week of the season until the youth bag's a bird. After the youth bird is down, the youth is a regular hunter and must by permits in the lottery or OTC leftovers
