It happened because you applied for both tags at the same time. The way around that is to apply for your shotgun tags online then when they post on the that you have gotten your tags then send in for your muzzleloader tags in the second lottery there are usually plenty of muzzleloader tags left over from the first lottery and them you will have both sets of tags. I have been doing this for the last 4 years and have gotten 2 shotgun and 2 muzzleloader tags every year.

try going to the dnr website where you can check on tags and put your middle initial on the same line as your first name and leave the middle initial line blank

i checked the dnr website. all of my tags were printed on the same date. and they all say mailed approx. three weeks from date or something like that. i hope i get them soon. thanks for all of the help.

What......haven't you heard? They can't pass a budget so there is no money to mail out permits. Just Kidding!!!

At least you got your tags.

I applied as a group ( I was the group leader)

My group (my son and father) got their gun tags. I didnt get anything as they "say" I put in for the second lottery. The guy at the DNR office was very rude to me and Im still trying to get ahold of somebody that gives a crap there............
