back tag numbers

my archery and gun tag have the same numbers? What are the odds?I did not buy them at the same time.

It's a hassle. I don't mind hanging it off if my back pack but I'm not poking holes in my clothes! Not to mention I have to take it off before I put my clothes away or it could poke a hole in my scent proof bag. Got checked 3 times this year and they never said a word about it not being attached to me. My friend insists that the numbers are hoe many licenses have been sold at the time but I don't think that's right.

I don't understand. Why would anyone have a problem wearing a back tag?

I for one will be very happy if / when we do away with wearing back tags. Their time is done. I believe, since we went to computerized tags, you have an annual account once you buy something, and that account covers all of the tags etc. This account is not the same as your customer ID number. I am a patron and have been for many moons, so all of my numbers are the same anyway. ChuckC

talk to the warden during the duck opener this fall. back tags are going away in a couple of years. this is great news.

I thought they were the same on your bow and fun license but thought they still changed yearly don't they? Like every year out will be a different number

Yes they are budman.Years ago the back tag numbers came out random,but now with a specific DNR number assigned to everybody they are the same.No more back tag poker at deer camp.

They always aRe the same are they not?
