Lost buck harvest authorization stickers may now be replaced
MADISON – Deer hunters in Wisconsin who have lost or did not initially receive their buck harvest authorization stickers will be able to get replacement stickers starting this year, state wildlife officials have announced.
“Starting this year, hunters will have the opportunity to pick up a replacement buck sticker if they lost a sticker which would still be valid, or did not receive one from the registration station in 2007,” said Jason Fleener, assistant deer ecologist with the state Department of Natural Resources. “But replacements are limited to only one per year, regardless of how many the customer claims to have lost or did not receive from the deer registration station.”
Hunters must visit a designated DNR Service Center in person to receive the placement, and they are required to provide information about the antlerless deer they claim to have registered from the 2007 deer season. DNR customer service staff will look up their registration records to confirm the customer's claim. The customer will fill in and sign a sworn affidavit, before they are given a sticker.
