Heads up!

Minnesota DNR's new electronic licensing system launches June 9! 📆

The DNR is rolling out a modern licensing system replacement that is built for today's customers and technology. Phase one of the launch in June will include the hunting and fishing modules. 🤳

The new system offers more flexibility than ever — three ways to buy a license (mobile app, online, or in-person from a license agent) and three ways to carry it (paper, PDF, or stored in the app). 📱

As part of this transition, hunting and fishing licenses will be temporarily unavailable for purchase between June 2 - 8 as we switch over to the new system. During that time, people may fish without a license in Minnesota. All regulations for the season and bag limits will remain in effect. On June 9, fishing licenses will again be required and you will be able to purchase them through the new system. 🎣

Turkey hunters need to register their harvest before end of day (11:59 pm) June 1. They will be unable to register their harvest during the transition/cutover period. 🦃

For now, nothing changes for those needing to register or title recreational vehicles and watercraft. That module of the new system will launch at a later date. 🚤

Today’s highlight, our plastic baits made by the Northome School Outdoor Adventure Class.

Everyone loves the color options, and we have had a hard time keeping them in stock because of the price range, 3.99 - 4.99, and how well people like these baits.

They are a great overall option for plastics. Stop in while we have a bunch of options.

We’re proud to support local students and projects like this right here in our community. It’s great to see local talent behind products like these.

Hey! We wanted to highlight our new “I’d rather be in Effie” sweatshirts!! The great thing about them is the comfort and quality. We’ve been seeing a lot of locals eyeing them up, so buy them while they last. If you’re looking to beat the windy weather, this is a solid option. Don’t miss out!

Hey! I wanted to highlight our Seagram’s Escapes Refresher 🍹

What I like about them is they’ve got a really refreshing, summer-type flavor — not too heavy, just easy to drink.

We’ve been seeing more people grab these as the weather warms up, so they’ve been pretty popular lately.

Best way to enjoy them? Cold.

If you’re looking for something light and refreshing for spring and summer, these are a solid option.
We’ve got them in stock — stop in!
