Surplus late wolf season licenses go on sale Monday

(Released November 16, 2012)

Applicants not selected in this year’s early or late season wolf license lottery can purchase a surplus hunting or trapping license on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at noon on Monday, Nov. 19, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said today.

There are 187 surplus hunting licenses and 130 surplus trapping licenses available for the late season. The late season begins Saturday, Nov. 24, and concludes Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013, provided late season harvest targets in each of Minnesota’s three wolf zones are not met.

Eligible hunters and trappers may purchase a surplus license of their choice regardless of the season they selected when applying for the lottery. When buying a surplus license, purchasers must specify a firearm license to hunt or a wolf trapping license to trap. An individual may purchase only one wolf license.

Surplus late season wolf hunting and trapping licenses are valid when the late season is open in any of the state’s three wolf zones.

Trappers born after Dec. 31, 1989, must have a trapper education certificate to purchase a surplus wolf trapping license if they have not purchased a trapping license in a previous license year.

If all licenses are not purchased by unsuccessful applicants, any eligible hunter or trapper, regardless of whether he or she entered the wolf season lottery, may purchase a remaining late season license beginning at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 21.

Surplus wolf licenses are available from any DNR license agent or online. Online buyers should proceed to checkout immediately after selecting a surplus wolf license and quickly submit payment information to improve their chances of obtaining a license.

The DNR allocated 2,400 wolf licenses for the late hunting and trapping season.

How much are they?

[lichen fox]

30 bucks....but to qualify, you had to apply for either the early or late season originally in Sept or when ever it was and not got drawn.

They were sold out in the first couple minutes.

I was lucky to get one. Going to have to do some quick reseaarch as I wasn't expecting to get one this year. I have hunted Coyotes but there might be a little more to it then those. I have a area where I came across 31 scat piles in various stages so am guessing there is a den close by and will will work on that area first.

I tried and was unsuccessful. From what I've been hearing, they were sold out in a matter of seconds!

I tried but was unsuccessful. Was doing it online had the transaction processed and was denied. Looked at my phone and it was only 12:01. Thought it was unfair that people denied first season tags could buy these but if u were denied a late season tag u were not eligible to try and buy a surplus early tag.

Sportsman...the criteria was the same for the early season left over tags....anyone who had applied and was not successful...early or late season was eligible....I didn't try for a early season tag when the unbought lics. became available because I wanted to trap...but, you could have applied if you were eligible...

[169Sportsman]

My fault. I thought I read somewhere that they were only available for the people who applied for early season. Chances are I still would have waited for the late season tags.
