Title: Anyone else unable to buy license, tags after getting trapper license?
Post by: saylean on January 07, 2014, 09:03:33 PM: It happened to me last year too. After i bought my trapper license I was unable to select any hunting tags, etc online. I blamed Walmart the first time, as they didn't have a clue about trapper licensing, so this time I went to cabelas and had to walk them through it...same thing! Anyone else have this issue with trapping license? :dunno: :chuckle: :bash:

I just got my trappers card this fall and bought a trappers license for 2013

Post by: saylean on January 07, 2014, 09:21:17 PM: Well, last season was the first time I bought my trapper license. Once it turned 2013 I went to buy my spring bear permit and was unable to....it didn't show up as an option online...turns out when I bought my trapper license, the clerk at Walmart somehow disabled my account and I had to send in proof to the state that I went through hunters Ed. They finally figured it out and reactivated my account...so I could then purchase my tags online. Well, apparently the same thing happened this year...i bought my trappers license in nov, having to go into cabelas and walk them through it and now i can't purchase my licenses online again...yes, all my big game reports are done etc....I'm sure it's the same issue as before....just frustrating and was wondering if other trappers have had it happen to them.
