Head Count???

[Bukslayr]

How many of you are going to be up at midnight on the 15th to buy your tags online?????

I will be.

 

[nannyslayer]

Doubtfull, last year we still had 1000 tags left at the end of the late rifle season.

I won't be up at midnight, got plenty of tags to buy around the areas I hunt.

 

[Musky Hunter]

I won't stay up until mid-night but I will be buying first thing in the morning.

I know I'm an idiot here BUT what tags are you talking about and why the hurry!??! I am wondering if I've been missing something in years past?!?!?!

 

[Bukslayr]

Deer Tags go on sale at midnight tonight and you can buy them online. My county only has 100 extra doe tags and they were sold out in 2 hours last year.

I'm in the same boat with you Bukslayr. Last year seemed to be pretty exciting counting down to sell out of tags. I thought the Webster county tags sold out around 8:30am or so last year. I will still wait up to buy them tonight. I don't want to chance it.

 

[JNRBRONC]

Is it tonight or the 15th?

 

[turtlshell]

It's the 15th, which is tonight at mid-night.

I waited up last year and actually fell asleep. I awoke at 1:30am and scrambled to secure 8 of the remaining 24...only to find out that I was looking at the NR quotas, there were still 1500 left for the county I hunt so I think it's safe to say I'll be sleeping this year. Tomorrow morning should work just fine for securing the 8-10 I'm buying.

 

[JNRBRONC]

What day is it today?

 

[BOWSTRING]

Won't be staying up tonight but if there are tags left for the Thanksgiving doe season I'll be hangin at wal-mart after work til mid-night to get some of them.
Can't you only buy one extra doe tag til September 15?

Thanks for the reminder Buckslayr. Looks like there's going to be a bunch of confused people this year because here's what the DNR site says:


Hunting License Sales/Application Deadlines
Applications for nonresident licenses are accepted online or by phone, 1-800-367-1188.

2008 Deer, Non-Resident Date
Application period May 3 - June 1
Reapplication period** July 26 - Last Day

2008 Deer, Resident Date
Youth, Residents Only Sept 20 - Oct 5
Disabled Sept 20 - Oct 5
Archery, Early Split Oct 1 - Dec 5

Nonresident Holiday Season Dec 24 - Jan 2, 2009

They put the season dates into the <u>sales/application deadlines </u> chart although even that's not entirely the case because the early muzzle says Oct 1. I had to go into the 08/09 hunting and trapping regulations PDF document to find the correct August 15 date. Am I missing something here? If not, anybody pals with the folks over there to let them know about the need to shore this up?

Here's the link to the page:

My wife and I have purchased some tags now!!!

Looks like Webster County was the only one to sell out?
