Default What color are tags this year?

I've ordered new ones some time ago, but suspect they have lost my request, so am writing again. But I have a few left over from last year. What color are this years'? Same as last, or.....

Is there anywhere online to order your tags? I can't find anywhere on the Relm site or FAQ sections to get tags sent to me. Normally I do just go to a retailer for this reason but it would be nice to have some on hand in case I don't purchase them all in one shot and need one 24/7 last minute...

Thank you! Found an number but I'll dig further for an email.
A guy would think there should be a tab to select under the purchase a license or under My Account or something???? Especially on the How to Purchase a license section under the FAQ area too... Sheesh!
Probably just go buy my main tags and ask the retailer if I can have a few more tags in case I want to purchase from home after.

Edit: Found this when digging for an email under FAQ near the bottom. Looks like a retailer isn't allowed to provide me with tags?

"Q. How do I get Self-Serve Tags?

A. You have 3 options to order self-serve tags

You can pick up your self-service tags free of charge at the district office.

I still like your post ;-) Just made me dig a bit harder and read through some more stuff I likely skipped to find it. Definitely wasn't so cut and dry fool proof, seemed like there was a different FAQ section of questions and answers between logged in and out and was in a different section away from the how to purchase a license section for some reason. Really surprised it mentions not being able to get the tags from the license issuer, I guess they want you purchasing something from them or leaving them alone altogether if you don't buy the licenses from them???? All about sales and business I guess.

I used this year last year tags and system accepted those numbers so they are good to go.
IIRC there was some concern that last year tags green colour was wearing of when handled in normal hunting conditions. It might be that new batch of green is lighter...just speculation.

I'm glad people have more faith in ordering tags than I do. As rough as it seems standing at the counter trying to train people on how the system works, I will take my chances at the counter.
Then again, I never trusted doing draws online until 2 years ago.

Got my 8 tags I ordered in today. They may have even came in earlier since I never checked the mail the last couple days.
Pretty impressed how fast that was, tags sent from Vancouver and cost them $1.65 for the postal fees in a small envelope. I know we pay alot, but I'm still surprised they send them out for free...

I ordered them twice now, a dozen in the spring and 10 more recently.
Used 8 or so tags on our class B walleye last month.
