You can get one anywhere, just make sure you have all your information. You will need your ss# and possibly your DL# as well and a copy of your hunters education certificate if you were born after 1973. If you have all this info, go to any license station or oder it online. You will then be given a permanent hunter id number that will be yours in wi for the rest of your life or until the dnr decide to make changes to the system again. Good luck!
