- In its third year, the first-time buyer
license<http://dnr.wi.gov/permits/firsttimebuyers.html> continues to provide
an opportunity to explore Wisconsin's outdoors at an affordable price.
Successful first-time deer hunters are also reminded to fill out a first
deer certificate<http://dnr.wi.gov/fhc> to commemorate their hunt. A
printable certificate will be sent to the email address provided.
"All it takes is one opportunity to get outdoors with a friend or family
member to find new ways to experience all Wisconsin has to offer," said DNR
Secretary Cathy Stepp. "With our first time buyer program and first deer
certificate, you can enjoy a reduced price license and show everyone your
first deer!"
Certain resident hunting, trapping, and fishing licenses are available for
as little as $5 for those who have never purchased that same type of license
or have not purchased a Wisconsin license authorizing that activity in any
of the prior ten years. Certain nonresident licenses are also discounted for
first-time buyers.
Hunting and fishing licenses can be purchased through the Online Licensing
Center<https://jc.activeoutdoorsolutions.com/wi_public/goHome.do> on the DNR
website, at license sales
locations<http://dnr.wi.gov/Permits/CSRSP/LicenseAgents.aspx>, or by calling
toll-free 1-877-WILICENSE (1-877-945-4236).
DNR Customer Service staff is available to assist the public online and via
phone from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. Spanish and Hmong bilingual
customer service representatives are also available. Customers may reach
customer service at 1-888-WDNR INFo (1-888-936-7463) or by e-mail at
