Bobcat, Fisher, and Otter Permits
Bobcat, fisher, and otter permit drawings are completed. Bobcat and otter tags were mailed last week (08/30/2013) and fisher tags will go out at the end of this week or early next week (09/09/2013). You may check your online account to see if you were awarded a permit by logging in here: https://jc.activeoutdoorsolutions.com/wi_public/goHome.do.
Sometimes permits get lost in the mail, so make sure to check your account and if you haven't received your permit within the next several weeks, contact the DNR for a replacement permit.
The results from the drawing, including quotas, permits awarded, and preference points needed to draw a permit, are available on the DNR's drawing results webpage: http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/trap/draw.html.
