I tried to purchase a doe tag private property, Marinette, Forest Mon morning. The GoWild left me in que with "tags reserved check back later" WTH was that??? Of course a few hours later there were no tags. Anybody with same experience?

I didn't even think of trying to buy a bonus doe tag as I've always hunted in farm country until this year. I bought a place up there that's right across the line in the forrest zone so it sounds like I won't be getting a doe tag if what you say is correct. I have does crawling all over my place but I guess that's just the way it is. I'm sorry but the new system is so messed up. Maybe not messed up but it's so new and confusing that if you don't live for deer hunting how are you supposed to keep up on all of these things?

well got through to dnr told that 700 private tags sold out in less than 25 minutes for this area. I am surprised but i suppose its possible that 1000's got there first

Surprising that private land tags sold so fast.

Careful what you say about the new system. Even if it's true, you will get labeled a DNR basher.

When I logged in at 10:15, I was in the que at about 7000. I printed my tag at 11:00 on the nose. Rusk County had 1225 tags available and sold them all by 11:24. Last year we had 1250 tags and they didn't sell out until roughly 7 pm. I think more people were familiar with the system this year and either got in line at license outlets or logged into GoWild early so the licenses went more quickly.

I got in immediately and had my permit by 10:02. I think the key was to be logged in by 9:45, ready for the random que at 10.

I was logged in 0940. My# 3777. Random is as random does. My wife logged in earlier than me and her # was 4300. I am generally happy with the system but disappointed I have a place to be but cannot shoot a doe-recurve hunter odds already stacked

Ever since the system switched, it keeps telling me I'm a non resident. Twice now they told me they have fixed it. I logged in a get a bonus tag the first morning. Got in the que, and then it told me I wasn't a resident. Called the DNR, the girl didn't know how to fix it. So she "helped" me with my transaction. Tried again this morning, back to non resident. Called DNR, guy said it was a hold up on my license for the DOT. Went to DOT after work, guy said my license is clean as a whistle. Called DNR, they removed my license from their system, and I can now log in as a resident but can't have my DL# on file. I got my tags, but it makes zero sense that they ( the DNR and their IT department" figure out what is going on.
