    Not sure exactly when the MN deadline is… Maybe around April / May ??? (I could be way off) – look on the MN DNR website. Some MN units don’t have a drawing and/or never sell out (or are in a non-quota area), so you might be able to buy a tag otc depending on the area.

    WI takes at least 4-5 years to draw a permit depending on the area. I got REALLY lucky this year and drew a zone C tag with 4 points. Only 193 people out of a 2200 permits drew with 4 points… The rest had 5 or more. Some areas take 8-9 years. Start applying and keep applying if you want a WI tag 4-5+ years from now.

    FISHING:

    It is MN per the post (Big G’s) above the one you responded to. WI application deadline is December 10 every year. In fact, we should be seeing the mailings for the lucky ones to get tags this season coming out here in Feb./Mar. I am hoping that one in my family got one this year, so that I can get the bait and camera going after a year off.
