Zone 1 to zone 3

[Dabignorski]

I bought a license for zone 1 but never shot anything and was debating going 3rd weekend down in zone 3 is that allowed?

3rd weekend in zone 3 is usually 3b and I believe you can't get a tag since you hunted zone 1. Am not sure about hunting around the metro or 601 zone, that might be possible

Not possible, when you buy a license for zone 3 you need to designate an A or B season. You might want to check with the DNR, you might be able to get down here yet this weekend, but I doubt it. Wish I could help you more, but Zone 3 is kind of different with the restrictions and the split seasons.

Darn.. that sucks, i got permission for some pretty good land down there just yesterday. Thanks for the info.

Call the DNR, its worth a shot. I have never needed to do it, I don't think you can, but you don't have anything to lose.

Shot them an email see if i get a reply tomorrow.

I was looking at the exact same thing yesterday. Season "A" in zone 3 is November 3 - 11. Season "B" is November 17 - 25. If I am understanding page 66 in the hunting guide book we get with our licenses, we can hunt season "A" with the licenses we have, but not season "B".

I thought it was something like that, its why I mentioned he could maybe get in this weekend, but was not sure. To hunt 3B he would have to buy another firearm license,which is not legal. Its a separate season.

Simble answer No. You could hunt there this weekend until the 11th then the 3A season is closed. The 3B season is the 17th thru the 25th. You can not hunt the 3B season with a A license.

You would have had to take your A license and $6 to a licensing agent no later than Friday BEFORE A season opener to have it changed.

I know because I checked for our daughters who didn't get to hunt due to an emergency.
