Free kill tags needed for harvest of bobcat, otter, fisher and marten are now available.
Request your kill tags at the same locations you get your fur harvester license: license agents, DNR Customer Service Centers, or online at E-License.
Remember, bobcat kill tags are only available until Nov. 30.
New for 2018
Bobcat bag limit is two per resident.
One kill tag is valid for all lands and all units combined.
A second kill tag is valid for Unit A ONLY, on private lands (excluding Commercial Forest lands).
Fisher/marten bag limits and season dates have changed.
Season dates for fisher/marten are Dec. 7-16.
New bag limit for fisher/marten is a combined bag limit of two per resident fur harvester, of which only one may be a fisher. (The fisher/marten kill tag can be used for one fisher OR one marten. The marten-only kill tag can be used for one marten.)
New foothold trapping near exposed bait restrictions.
Foothold traps may not be used to trap furbearers within 20 feet of bait that is visible from more than 4 feet above the bait. (Completely submerged foothold traps are exempt from this restriction.)
For more details and the definition of bait for this regulation, please see the 2018 Fur Harvester Digest.
