Wisconsin "Go Wild" Licence system kill tags

[Peeps22]

Will be trying this tomorrow. Hopefully it goes a little smoother than today.

I needed to buy a new fishing license today so figured while I was at it bought all of my hunting tags too. I thought the Go Wild website was set up very well and easy to use. The process was smooth as can be.

I got buck only tags for archery and gun. I assume the option for antlerless tags will come later in summer when they figure out tag numbers. Doesn't matter to me since I don't need them anyway, just wanted to put that info out there in case anybody is wondering.

Print mine all online, there is a section when you log into your go wild account where it lists all your licenses, stamps, tags etc... you can print off there.

You can also purchase water proof paper online (amazon) but the ink will likely still run on it if it gets wet. I will just carry mine on me for verification and tagging if I leave my deer overnight. Overall I think its a good direction, but the system was a bit clunky to use at first.

I carry a small plastic zip bag and piece of duct tape as part of my kill pack. Always on me. I validate the tag, put it in the bag, deal it and gold it up and then tape it to antler or leg. Been doing this for years and I've never lost a tag.

I carry a small plastic zip bag and piece of duct or electrician tape as part of my kill pack. Always on me. I validate the tag, put it in the bag, seal it and fold it up and then tape it to antler or leg. Been doing this for years and I've never lost a tag.

So how do you "validate" your turkey license with a pen? It just shows the stamp & license I bought. It has a blank area at the bottom. So do I just write in the date I shot it? Really no instruction at all on the DNR website!

The tags i get require you to print them off online and then fill in the info and sign before attaching them. I don't hunt WI so not sure what they require. The video was shown to address the concerns listed above about how to keep any tag from getting tore up or wet while transporting the animal.

I wish they at least gave you the option if printing on the old style paper for a few dollars. That was nice. The last time I was in Colorado they had the same paper too.

With the turkey season here. I fumbled around with the paper tag in a baggie and didn't like it. So what I came up with was a homemade lamination with clear packing tape and a fine tip sharpie instead of a pen. Works great and there strong and flexible. Fit in my wallet like dollar bills.

I do the same thing except I use a wire tie instead of duct tape.

I printed my tags out yesterday and laminated them with clear packing tape. The whole process was easy and smooth. I agree though, it would be nice to have the koll tag still printed on the more durable green paper but i cant complain.

I like the packing tape idea. Gonna use that for mine too.

Just logged in and purchased my archery license. Pretty straightforward, you can even come back in and decide later which county you want a free zone 2 antlerless tag for.

Not sure why they couldn't just come up with something like Iowa has. Basically like we had before with a sticker transportation tag that goes on the deer with a blank box to write your confirmation number on after electronically registered.

After learning more about not having to tag our deer it seems it's would be easier to just tag it right away like we did before. With the new law you have to put your own paper printed tag on the deer anytime you are out of sight of it. This includes your drive home if you happen to stop for gas and go in to pay or things like that where you are away from the deer for any reason.

With more and more people buying tags online it's a cost thing. They've gotta be saving a ton on postage this way.

I'm gonna still do things kinda old school. Put my tag in a small ziplock and tape it on the leg for a doe and on the antlers for a buck. With a liberal amount of electricians tape it would take alot to lose it. Especially if your using a sled and or gamecart.
