Wisconsin
Has New Automated Fishing Licensing Program
Resident & non-resident licenses
now available by phone
Available now is the option
to purchase your Wisconsin fishing license over the phone. Does your state
offer this service? Are stores that sell resident and non-resident
licenses in your state getting more difficult to find? Are those stores
open when you want that license?
Wisconsin's program should be no
big deal. It's 20th century technology that's been available for decades
and our DNR agencies are just playing catch-up - or at least they should
be. License sales are down nationwide. Offering licenses
electronically by phone or over the Internet is a service that is long past
due. If your state isn't offering licenses electronically, bug
'em. Our fishery managers have no excuse for license sale declines if
they're not offering licenses by phone or on the
Internet.
Wisconsin's license program is available 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. Call toll-free 1-877-945-4236 There is a $3 fee for this
service.
