Update #2: Minnesota DNR is committed to maintaining the integrity of the surplus license sale process and making sure we provide bear hunting opportunities consistent with our management objectives. Since the initial surplus sale event on Aug. 5, we have reviewed our system records; those hunters who were fully successful in purchasing a license will maintain that license. We will award remaining licenses to hunters based on time-stamped licensing system information. Emails will be sent to all hunters who are awarded a bear surplus license; those hunters will need to follow steps on the emails they receive to complete their purchase of a bear surplus license.

Update #1: We are still reviewing solutions to the system error many of you experienced. We know bear baiting starts soon and our staff are doing their due diligence to ensure a proper resolution. We apologize for the inconvenience while we go through system records, which is taking some time. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update as soon as we are able.

Bear hunters trying to get a surplus license, listen up! 🔊

The system is experiencing high demand that has caused a delay in normal operations. The bear surplus sale has been paused until further notice. Information about resuming the surplus sale will be shared at a later time.

In addition to posting updated information here on this social media post, we're going to provide updates on our relevant webpages and the electronic licensing system as more information becomes available. If you want to receive notifications as we get updates, click the "…" in the upper right hand corner and turn on notifications for this post.

We're really sorry for the inconvenience and our staff are working diligently to get this system up and running properly. Believe it or not, turning it off and then on again didn’t work. As with any new technology, there's a learning curve and we're experiencing growing pains! Thank you for your patience.
