2008 Fishing lic

[HoleHopper]

This may be stupid but I looked at the DNR websight and could not find the date we have to buy a 2008 lic. Can anybody inform me if you know. I do not want to get cought off gaurd. Thanks

Fishing in Minnesota, yours will expire on the 29th of Feb, you'll need your new one on March 1. hope this helps, the Perch

[HoleHopper]

Thanks perch!

Maybe I am wrong but that is not what I have read on this forum. I thought liscenses were good until April 30th this year. Boy, sure are some confusing regulations this year!

[grasshopper]

It has changed. April 30 is now the date.

With all the discussion that has been going on about the license expiration date in recent weeks I called the DNR over a week ago and they verified that even though your license says February 29, 2008 it is good until April 30, 2008. Your new 2008 license will have the April 30 expiration date.

[rockman]

Wrong. There have been a couple of threads already posted on this here, in the ice fishing forum, and in the open water forum.I already talked to the DNR on the phone, and the 2007 license expires on April 30th.New law/regulation change, as of last July 1st.

I was looking at the 2008 regulations and they still state that next years license expires at the end of February.

I think i'll just buy my new license early just in case!

Does anyone know about Wisconsin fishing license renewal and if that has been extended??

Kind of hope so, they nail non-residence for $50 annual. I bought mine in Dec and only able to use it a couple times. Kind of worth it since I caught my first 14+" Crappie fishing in WI this winter. Also caught my first Chubby Darter fish with it.

Anyone have a DNR Link?

How long is my 2007 fishing license good?

2007 fishing licenses are good until April 30, 2008

The DNR Index's info is as good as gold.

Thanks for the link.

In last weeks Outdoor News there was a columnist that wrote about this and apparently the trout stamp and the small game part of the sportsmans license still expire on March 1. Our legislature just didn't think this all the way through.

[bturck]

They are also revisiting the big game laws and seasons as well. It took a law degree to figure it out last year, even the CO's were confused and stated that was there biggest single question. Whatever happened to the KISS method. Bill

Yeah now that you say that, I remember hearing about that, now that you mention it. I'm wrong, the Perch

[tipupguy]

i had heard that too at the bait store and he said he had been talking to a DNR officer the day before. the thing thats gets me is why can't they update that on there web site?

[bassNspear]

why are we all repeating outselves? I think its kinda funny. Just go and get a 2008 licence, and it wont matter how long your 07 is!!!!!!!!!!!

[BRULEDRIFTER]

It's not that confusing is it!!!!????

The DNR changed the licenses stuff in the middle of the year, after our licenses and reg book were published.

Your 2007 licenses IS GOOD until Apr. 30! The trout stamp expires on Feb 29th, All hunting is done on Feb 29th as well!

Doesn't seem to hard to follow for me. I just wish the trout stamp followed the licenses.

[tisosy11]

If it is too hard for anyone...go buy next years license...you are going to buy it anyways!
