Applicants who did not apply online will be mailed a notification postcard.

This year, leftover bear licenses are available in the Bergland and Baraga bear management units in the western Upper Peninsula. Available license quantities for these units will be posted on the DNR Web site at the same time. Unsuccessful resident applicants may purchase one leftover license online or from any license agent on a first-come, first-served basis for a one-week period beginning July 7 at 10 a.m.

Any licenses that remain as of July 14 at 10 a.m. also will be made available for purchase by residents who did not apply for a bear license.

These licenses will be sold until the quota is met. Bear preference points will be reset to zero for hunters who purchase a leftover bear license.

It is unlawful to purchase more than one bear hunting license.
