Another bear tag question

[Scoot]

I applied for a bear tag in MN this year. The regs say that successful applicants will be notified by June 15th. My buddy told me "you can check it at the end of May" and see if you drew. Can someone tell me where/how I check this or if this is even true?

i think you can just check the dnr web site towards the end of may,under hunting/bear apps/licenses, i havent tried minnesotas, but wisconsins work this way,( i didnt draw this year)you just entered your group or dnr #and they told you if you were drawn or not.we'll see i guess at the end of may, good luck anyway,

There will be a spot on the dnr HSOforum for lotteries it will be in there under the bear hunting section You just have to punch in you mndnr number or drivers lic number.

[Scoot]

All they say online is "the end of May".

hmm ill just have to keep an eye on the DNR HSOforum then

They do the same thing for turkey permits. All of a sudden one day they will announce that permit results are available and you can look yours up. You'll know what day it is if you check this site regularly. Someone always shares it with the rest of the group.

And, starting this year, if you are drawn in a Quota Area, you have to purchase your license by the Friday closest to July 31st...July 30th this year...if you don't you loose your permit! And, any "unpurchased" licenses, will be offered to unsuccessful aplicants the following Wednesday...and, if there is still license available, the following Wednesday to anyone on a first come first served basis....

Ya I have been looking for a week. I haven't seen anything yet. Licenses can be bought June 1 so you would think that is when it would be up on the DNR HSOforum too....... I will keep checking here for info and will post anything I find too. Nice to have this site to check in with!!!!! Thanks all....

dnr HSOforum says lottery results are available mid-june.

I just checked with the MN DNR site and the 2010 Bear Lottery Results are posted. Go to the DNR site and in the upper right hand corner type in 2010 Bear lottery Results and it will bring you to the site where you can enter either your drivers license or DNR number.
