Good God.

Is it because everyones driving snowmobiles so fast now? 🤔

Or our DNR staff is aging this bad? 🧐 🙄

Methinks they either have a sticker fetish or are getting $ under the table...

I found a b*i*c*h post about this on snapface from 2023.  It looks like the DNR decided to reformat the snowmobile license stickers so they could be printed on the same printers as hunting and fishing licenses.

I figured that was why they did it.

The last one is interesting.

In 2025, Minnesota will move to mobile and online systems for hunting and fishing licenses and permits so you can buy them online and download them right away. Licenses will continue to be available from agents. You also can print your license on plain paper. A free mobile application will be available to allow you to validate and register your harvest even if you are offline or out of service. You will still be able to register your harvest at agent locations as well.

To meet our customers' needs for newer technology, the DNR moved to most licenses becoming electronic; however, starting in March of 2025, plain 8½ x 11 paper licenses still will be available.
Starting in March of 2025 their there will be three options:

Paper: Any license may be purchased at a license vendor or online and printed on standard 8½ x 11 printer paper. Users may print as many copies as they wish to keep in their wallet, glove box and other places. Previously, a fee would have been charged for a replacement license. License agents may still charge a replacement cost if they need to reprint a paper license.
Electronic: Upon purchase from a vendor or online, a hunters or anglers who have provided an email address can have a portable document format file (PDF) emailed to them. Purchasers may save this file on their phone or be used to print paper copies. The electronic copy may be used as proof of license purchase.
Mobile Application: When the license is purchased from the mobile application, the license is stored in the application. Cellular data service is needed to purchase a license but will not be needed to display a purchased license.

Placing a durable harvest tag on a bear, deer, elk, prairie chicken, sturgeon or turkey will not be required under the new system; however, anglers and hunters still must validate their harvest at the site of the kill as prescribed by the commissioner.

Thanks, DE.  Wisconsin has been similar to that for a while now.  (And I think IA, too).  MN is always the last to have nice things.  I don't like the paper so much, cause if it gets wet, the ink run immediately.  I just fold it up and put it in a tiny ziplock bag in case I lose my phone.

However, the cell phone with app is a great option - cause we all have em now.  Its quick and easy to buy licenses and tags, which comes in especially handy in WI when you want to buy deer bonus tags.

I spose, now that the DNR ain't goona use those printers for hunting and fishing licenses, they figured out how to use them for trailers and RV licenses.

I'll be interested to see how the app works to register a deer when you don't have cell service - but I'm sure they have that all figured out so you can't cheat.  It will be confusing for a while, because for a time, didn't we have that rule that you didn't have to put the tag on the animal until you dragged it to the road.  And now you don't tag em at all.

I print out my fishing and hunting licenses.  Then I laminate one for in the boat and  have one in my billfold and a pic on my Iphone.
