FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How many preference points does a customer currently have?

Q: How many points does it take to draw a harvest tag for wolf?
A: The amount of points needed can change from year to year depending on the number of applicants and the harvest success rate from the previous year. An estimate of points needed can be attained by calling the DNR Call Center at 1-888-936-7463.
Q: Why doesn’t the wolf application show up in the product list under Applications?
A: There are two possible reasons: 1) The customer may have already purchased this application earlier in the year. Check the Active products and point section when in the customer record. 2) The application deadline has passed and the product was removed from the list.
Q: Why doesn't it ask for a management zone when applying for a wolf harvest permit?
A: A wolf license is not tied to one particular zone. Wolves may be pursued statewide, except for
zones that are closed early because the quota for that zone was reached.
Q: I cannot use my wolf harvest tag. May I give it to someone else?
A: Wolf harvest licenses may be transferred to a youth or adult who is eligible to use the license, provided the transfer application is received at least 15 days prior to the start of the season. You may print this form for customers if you select Permit Transfer Form to the left. Call the DNR call center at 1-888-936-7463 for more information.
