Bear Registration Stations by County

At the registration station, an official seal shall be attached to the bear, and information shall be obtained from the hunter. It is no longer necessary for hunters to surrender a kill tag when sealing a bear. An asterisk * next to the check station indicates limited staff and/or limited office hours. Hunters must call the DNR office or private cooperator before arriving to schedule an appointment.
