Where to Buy Fishing and Hunting Licenses in Hudson

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resourcesis reminding outdoor recreationalists that April 1 marked the start of the new license year for all fishing and hunting licenses.

That means the license you purchased in 2012 has expired—and if you plan to fish and hunt again this year, you can buy whatever license you need for the 2013-2014 seasons.

You can purchase a license at any of the more than 1,300 license agents statewide or through the DNR Online License Center.

In Hudson, licenses are available at:

• Consolidated Energy Coop
• Freedom Valu Center #82
• Holiday #45
• License Plates and Tag Renewals LLC
• Mills Fleet Farm
• Walmart

If you are a multi-season hunter and angler, the Wisconsin DNR suggests you consider purchasing the Conservation Patron. For $165, you can fish in all Wisconsin waters, hunt deer, small game, waterfowl and upland game birds.

An annual state park admission sticker, access to all state trails and a subscription to Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine is included. Junior ($75), Nonresident ($600) and Nonresident Junior ($77) Conservation Patron licenses are also available.

Check Your License Addresses

All license buyers are reminded to review the home address shown on the license purchased from agents.

If it is not correct, the agent can change it on the terminal. The license holder may also make the correction through the Online License Center or DNR Call Center at 1-888-936-7463.

The address on the license must be correct to ensure the holder receives notification if they are a permit winner in any of the drawings.
