Lifetime Lic

[fishin58]

I just bought it in March so I havent used it yet. A couple questions, I bought it for deer. Can I use it for slug season or muzzleloader? Or both? When can the lic be purchased (so to speak) can it be done online or does a person have to go to an els agent?

I don't have a lifetime deer but a friend of mine does. He has to choose one season or the other. I know he tried to pay the difference when MN had the all season and they wouldn't allow that.I have the lifetime sportsman license and I've always went to an ELS agent to get it and I think thats the only way but I could be wrong. I make sure I go to Scheels or one of the bigger places that sell a lot of licenses when I renew mine. I tried a couple times at small baitshops in the lakes area and had all kinds trouble with the person behind the counter getting me the correct license.

Yep, always seems like a person gets the new clerk at the gas station and they have to call someone!! anybody else have any details?

You can get your tag and apply for a doe permit online. They mail the tag to you.

I am not quite sure how it works now, but before, when you couldn't hunt both the regular firearms season and ML season. ML was treated just like another zone and you picked a zone when you got your tag. I would guess that you could still choose one or the other. Your best bet would be to call the DNR.

If you are now a nonresident, you would have to pay the full NR price for one of the licenses if you want to hunt both regular firearms and ML. You also have to pay the NR price to get a bonus tag. This is my best understanding of the rules.
