I just noticed my shelter tag is misssing from the pocket

of my Otter II Cabin. I still have the second part that

came with the tag. It states that it is a " license ".

My question is am I still able to sit in my shelter??

The card with my drivers license is still in the

pocket window.The " license " states I have

privileges for Dark House Shelter ???

What do you think...

I would get a new copy!

You are not really legal unless you have the lic. attached to your shelter!

Some wardens will let it go, others will be more than happy to give you a ticket that will cost you much more then the copy would! mad.gif

I do not like the new lic. that do not have the sticky back, just because they can be easily lost! mad.gif

For the little time it takes to get the $2.50 copy it save you a $80 fine! On kind of a side note if i have multiple shelters can i just use duplicate licenses as long as my houses arn't in use at the same time? I have a Fish trap pro for when i go out for my self and quickflip 2 for when i go with a friend and a larger wooden portable when it gets cold. It just gets to be pain to remember to switch the license and make sure i have securly attached.

Ouch..that is a good fine. I haven't bought mine yet, but I think they did away with the sticky tags and went to just a water proof, tear proof paper. There is a prepunched hole for tying it on.

ASMOLEY,

I'm sorry, but you lost me.

ASMOLEY,

Thanks for dumbing it down for me. grin.gif Nope can't do it. I've got multiple portables myself. I either have to transfer the tag or buy an individual tag for each one.

ice_shack,

You and me both. I had a nice piece of plastic I'd stick the license to. It worked really well, now it's useless.

With the new license yes they are no longer adhesive but they make an adhesive kit for the snowmobile license that prints out of the same machine. You should be able to ask for it and get it for a shelter license as well. The reason for the change is a smaller profile for the license apparently people didn't like the bulky adhesive ones in their wallets. At my old job i went to a seminar on the new machine that is now in use at all ELS locations.

Metrojoe,

Thanks for the response i'm going to do a little more research on this it really save us some money on tags!

I was in the same suitation this year. I call the dnr and the lady I spoke with said it is legal to put a dup. tag on the second house. As long as they are not used at the same time. I have three houses I put lic. on two and buy a duplicate for the thrid. But call the dnr and verify for your own peace of mind. Mark

I talked with someone at the DNR and was told you can't buy duplicates for muliple houses. The way it was explained to me was that a duplicate is only supposed to be issued when your replacing the original. Now maybe the person I talked to has no clue, but thats what I was told.

mltjanderson,

Do you actually ask for duplicates at the same time you purchase your license?

That makes sense, but who's to say you didn't "lose" your tag, then found it after buying the diplicate. If it's legal to use the same permit for multiple houses IF not used at the same time, it's legal to use a duplicate. They're the same tag, aren't they?

Just my $0.02

Ok, i have three houses instead of buying 3 licenses can i buy 1 license and 2 duplicates and still be legal if i'm not using them at the same time?

You sure can and many do.

Most just move the shelter tag as need be, but some use the duplicate so they don't have to move the Tag.

Funny this finally came up...I lost my house license on LOW on a real windy day (day after my buddy got tagged for no license-$120 fine) So, I stumbled upon this situation myself when I got my duplicate replacement license. Then I got to thinking as well and now I use duplicate licenses. I don't fish them at the same time and can't figure how the DNR would ever be the wiser.
