Get your firearms deer licenses early!

[Bonasababy]

Real concern the new system will be a mess in the days right before the season starts this year, best to get them earlier.

It should be fine. But it's definitely worth getting them early, and saving a copy to your phone or print it out.

DNR is not thinking it will be fine...they are worried, recommending buying early.

I'm going to print on paper, just like i did for archery.

I bought my firearms deer tag and a bonus tag this weekend using the app. Seemed to work fine for the purchase and the validation / registration instructions seemed to be easy. Just need to fill a tag this weekend to find out I guess.

Curious how the app worked for people through the registration process?

I did it the old school way, paper and online registration on web browser.

Mine worked perfect. It took a matter of seconds. Confirmation showed up in the app and was also immediately emailed to me.

When I did my bear it was pretty much instant through the app. Site tag and registration at the same time.

The deer I registered for a friend through the browser took way longer.

Registration was simple and no issue for me. I kind of miss the old tags though.

I'll miss them when we do our party hunt the weekend before thanksgiving. It was always up to me to register them all, so at least I could look at the tag on the deer and get the number, age, and sex. Now I'll have to make sure they all mark what they "tagged" on their paper so I can still register them, for those that aren't using the app (which is all of them)
