As of November 2013, residents and non-residents who have
received a Purple Heart can now purchase a conservation
patron license for a discounted price. A bill was signed into law
allowing in-state Purple Heart recipients to buy a conservation
patron license for $10 (normally $165) and non-resident Purple
Heart recipients to purchase the license for $161 (normally
$600). Non-resident Purple Heart recipients can also purchase
individual hunting, fishing and trapping licenses at resident
rates.
The conservation patron license is one license that includes
a wide variety of hunting, fishing, trapping and other state
licenses. The reduced-fee conservation patron license does
not include a subscription to Wisconsin Natural Resources
magazine.
Purple Heart recipients who wish to receive the reduced-fee
license will need to provide documentation to a Department
of Natural Resources (DNR) service center showing the
medal was awarded to the customer. Acceptable forms of
documentation include:
• DD-214, Department of Defense “Certificate of Release
or Discharge From Active-Duty” Form
• DD-215, Correction to DD-214 Form
• Official documents of separation from their branch; Army,
Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Public Health
Service, and any other forces incorporated into the armed
forces, such as National Guard or Army, Navy Air Force or
Marine Reserves
Purple Heart recipients will only need to provide this
documentation once as it will be entered into their customer
record for future reference.
