DNR lists bear registration stations

Bear hunters may only register their harvest at an authorized registration station that has tooth envelopes. A revised list of these authorized bear registration stations is online at www.mndnr.gov/bear.

Bear hunting regulations require that a tooth be submitted from all harvested bears. Registration stations that do not have the envelopes cannot register a harvested animal.

In Cook County, registration sites are at Mike’s Holiday in Tofte; Buck’s Hardware Hank in Grand Marais; Gunflint Pines Resort up the Gunflint Trail; and Clearview Store in Lutsen.

Also, a new web application at www.mndnr.gov/ hunting/bear now allows bear guides and hunters to register baiting sites online rather than printing forms and mailing them to the DNR.
