Game & Fishing Licenses

Page Content

​​​Minnesota Statue 97A requires that any person, unless exempt, must purchase a license to hunt and fish in Minnesota.  Hunting and fishing certain species or in certain areas may also require the purchase of a stamp.

All applicants must be present unless a combination license is purchased.

Most hunting and fishing licenses and stamps go on sale in mid-February. Big game licenses go on sale in mid-August.  The firearms deer season begins in early November.
