Furbearer Drawing Results

Drawing results for bobcat and fisher permits

River otter are now a bag limit/quota species. There will no longer be a drawing for otter tags. Harvest authorizations for the established bag limit will be added to the trappers GOWILD profile upon purchasing a trapping license.

Reminder: Completion of an approved Trapper Education course is required for all new Wisconsin Trappers (with some exemptions). Since they are taught by trappers, Trapper Education classes are primarily offered in the trapping offseason of March-October. If you think you may draw a tag this year, you will have more class options if you start searching for a class in the spring/summer.
