A kill tag? WTH? Do the issue tags for just wounding one or what?Just found out I drew a kill tag for WI fall black bear. Zone D.
No. The state offers a participation or pursuit type of tag for those that assist with a hunt or baiting or you can apply for a pref. point only To build up to the require number to draw or you can apply for a kill tag. Depending on the zone it can take up to 8 years to draw a kill tag. They are not over the counter.

You have to BUY a tag to go along on a hunt in Wisconsin? That's weird. Congrats on drawing the "kill" tag though.
Yes, its our states drive to extract even more money from hunters. After looking at the new regulations I see the state has noe eliminated the class B license. The we site says this now:
Class B License Eliminated
Residents and non-residents may now participate in bear baiting, hunting and training activities without a Class B bear license in
compliance with all applicable regulations including: bait bears for hunting purposes (note that the recreational feeding of bears remains illegal); train dogs to track bears; act as a back-up shooter; and assist hunters with pursuing bears, provided that a person does not shoot, shoot at, capture, take, or kill the bear (unless acting as a back-up shooter). Back-up shooters must adhere to the following rules: may only shoot for the purpose of killing a bear that was shot, but not killed, by a Class A bear license holder (if the person shooting the bear was hunting in the same party as the Class A hunter at the point of kill) may only shoot if the Class A bear license holder possesses an unused bear carcass tag that is authorized for use on the bear killed; and may only shoot if killing the
bear is necessary to protect the safety of the members of the hunting party or others.

Congrats on drawing your tag. In what area of zone D will you be hunting? I just checked and I got drawn for my zone B tag! I've been waiting ten years for this. Let us know how you do. Will you be over bait or dogs?

Congratulations on your tag! I got one about 10 years ago I think it took 6 years to get it then. We used the hounds, by Minong. Good luck!!
