General public sale i read on brnd dispatch is NOV 1

[echotrail]

I think the 615 wolf licenses that are going on sale are the ones that were not purchased by the lottery winners before the deadline expired. I believe this sale is first come first served.

So lets say I try to get a tag either via the internet or over the phone on Monday, how would you actually get your tags before the season started on Saturday? Could you then go to an ELS agent and have them 'reprinted'?

[lichen fox]

I would think even the us postal service could get them anywhere in the state within 4 days!! And if you were an unsuccessful applicant, you'd have 7 days before season opened...heck, they could drive them out to you in your stand with that much time.

[lichen fox]

oops...6 days...and you can pretty much drive from one end of Mn to the other about 5 times in 6 days and still have time to sleep!

It looks like the percentage of successful applicants, who didn't purchase a license, is about the same percentage, as the bear hunter no-shows...(that is, of course, if there are about the same amount of late season over the counter license available)...have to wait and see on that one...

[daydreamer]

And I should have clarified even more as I'll be out of town starting Wednesday bowhunting Thursday and Friday before the actual rifle/wolf opener on Saturday. There in lies the problem. If I can simply go to an ELS agent and have it printed it solves the problem...that of course if I'm lucky enough to get a tag...

[BRULEDRIFTER]

My guess is they'll print them on the spot until they run out.

[bigbucks]

+1 on that thought. Why would it be any different then surplus turkey tags? If you get one, they print it, you sign it, & you pay them...

[lichen fox]

You can go to an ELS agent...If you can be th first in line at an els agent at noon on Monday, and you are successful, you'll get your license right away..
