Wisconsin offers numerous resident licenses; and now we are offering a First-time buyer license.
This First-time buyer license is a reduced rate license that is offered to customers as a means to introduce them to the sport of hunting or fishing. It is also available for any customer who has not purchased a license in any of the last 10 years.
Note: Under state law, 10- and 11-year-olds will not qualify for the first-time buyers' discount but will need to participate in a mentored hunt.

ATF regulations
Important: New Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulations regarding nonimmigrant visitors bringing firearms or ammunition into the United States, requires the completion of ATF Form 6 NIA(5330.3D) (Import Application). Once approved, Form 6 NIA(5330.3D) becomes the actual permit. The visiting nonimmigrant must also posses a valid hunting license issued by one of the 50 states, or an invitation to, or registration for, a valid sport shooting event. ATF Form 6 NIA(5330.3D) can take 8-12 weeks for approval so applicants should plan accordingly. An approved Form 6 NIA(5330.3D) is valid for one year from date of issuance. It cannot be reused. Forms 6 NIA(5330.3D) are available from ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives):
ATF [exit DNR], or
by calling 1-800-800-3855 [this number is for ATF only].
