numbers on portable

[bak2MN]

How big do they need to be?

[reinhard1]

i believe at least 2 inches in height. good luck.

[cavalierowner]

As an aside, I e-mailed DNR a couple years ago. I had a piece of plywood with my name and address on it from on old permanent that I would just lean against the portable I was using (I have 2). The St. Paul guy said that was just fine. I asked because I was thinking about the possibility of selling the house at the time and didn't want anything attached to the portable.

Thanks!

Corect me if im worng but i thought you didnt need your name and address and a license if you didnt leave your porty out overnight unatended?

You don't need to buy the shelter license if you do not leave it out unattended, but you do need to display identification still. DNR number, etc.

[BassFisherman]

So if u don't leave it on the lake u need a dnr #? Whats this.... I've never heard of that

The following regulations apply to all shelters used on all Minnesota

waters, unless otherwise noted elsewhere in this booklet.

• All shelters placed on the ice of Minnesota waters must have either the

(

1) complete name and address, (2) driver’s license number, or (3) the

nine-digit Minnesota DNR number on the license of the owner plainly

and legibly displayed on the outside in letters, and figures at least

2 inches in height.

• A shelter may not be left unattended anytime between midnight and

one hour prior to sunrise unless the shelter is licensed.

Your house needs to be identified whether you are in it or not. Your name and city, DNR id number, or Drivers License #. You don't need to buy a house license if you don't leave the house or portable unattended.

[TruthWalleyes]

Ok,

So here's the question.

If i'm staying in a sleeper house, and leave my portable set up outside to use as a crpper shak, is it considered unattended?

yup, tis true, i bought an old 2 man sled late last year and guy said see, even an id holder attached outside and i told him thats ok, i dont need it, never out in dark or left alone, he told me still had to have & check regs, i did & he was correct.

i was told dnr does this so any officer out checking can immeiately identify via ur posted info if have a license or not with exactly what add ons on their computer. so if u r out and DNR is doing spot check, if u have not info posted outside, probably b instead red flag to them to knock on your door.

Go to page 61 of the 2011 fishing regs. http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/rlp/regulations/fishing/fishing2011.pdf#view=fit&pagemode=bookmarks

You need either name & address or driver license number or DNR number.

In fact, maybe I'm wrong, but the way I read it you don't even need to license a permanent if you don't leave it unattended between midnight and 1 hour before sunrise.

I hate the idea of having to deface my property. I would rather purchase a permit than have to scrawl numbers on the fabric with a marker. Thinking about a little peaceful protest. Maybe I'll use numbers and letters large enough to encircle the entire outside, seeing as how i'm going to have to deface it anyways.

[FISHINGURU]

Most portables have a weather proof pouch on them to put numbers in, all you have to do is write them on a piece of paper or cardboard and your good to go.

[harvey lee]

That's what I do.

I have never put my name or etc. on my portable. I have been checked many times and said I didn't have a place to put it. Every time they have said that it was no problem? I am there with the portable? Now if you leave it unattended that is a different issue?

[minnbowhunter]

Ok,

So here's the question.

If i'm staying in a sleeper house, and leave my portable set up outside to use as a crpper shak, is it considered unattended?

This, just like alot of questions that come up about what is right or what is wrong will be a judgement call by the C.O. If he is having a bad day or you come across as a jerk he may just decide to write you up on it, and let the Judge decide. I don't push the envelope on stuff like this. You could say that there are no holes drill under the port. so it can't be considered a fish house. You could still end up in court if you want to push the issue. I have better things to do with my time.

My Otter Lodge has a clear plastic sleeve in front to display my info.

I printed off my DNR # in 2 inch letters, laminated it, and slipped in the sleeve. Done deal and it'll last forever.

LOL That would be funny!

or you could just safety pin a laminated tag on it

[bigred1974]

easy enough

[jmg]

Beaver,

Forgive my ignorance, but is the 9 digit DNR number your fishing license number or something else. Just want to make certain that my Eskimo and I are legal.

Thanks!

[timjones]

Yep, that's the number. Once you have a DNR number it will be on every license you get from them. My ATV registration has the same 9 digit number on it as my fishing license, fish house license, etc. That's how they identify you.

THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!
