What it is and who needs it.
What the license-agent bond covers
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sells hunting, fishing, and trapping approvals through hundreds of authorized sales agents — bait shops, sporting-goods stores, and the like — under the issuing-agent provisions of Wis. Stat. ch. 29 (s. 29.024). An agent collects the state's license fees and is responsible for remitting them to the DNR.
When a bond is required, it stands behind the license-fee money the agent collects and owes the state. If an agent fails to remit the fees it has taken in, the DNR can recover against the bond. The amount generally scales with the volume of fees the agent handles.
Note that the DNR's standard sales-agent enrollment can use a refundable security deposit for equipment rather than a surety bond, so a bond is not required in every case — it depends on the arrangement. Enter the amount the DNR named for your location and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check; send us your paperwork if you are unsure.
