I don't know of anyone that really adheres to this, and I have never heard of anyone being fined, but acording to the "Minnesota Boating Guide, a summary of laws and rules", "No other number, letter, or design may appear within 24 inches of the license number or decal."; and "If your canoe, kayak, rowing shell, paddle boat, sailboard or sailboat doesn’t have a motor, place the decal on each side of the forward half of the craft."
So technically the BWCA.com decal can not be within 24" of the registration decal.

You're right, but most of the outfitter decals I have to remove as we refurbish canoes are within inches of the license.

How would those rules apply to a canoe from Wisconsin? Now I'm just confused. Guess we'll put our decals on the stern (though I think the moose looks a little better on the bow for some reason, LOL).
I need decals. I only have one. I bought a set and made one into a car magnet. So our canoe is naked!

Shouldn't they be placed upside down so when you're carrying the canoe on car or portage others can read it? It doesn't make sense to have it the way you all have them stuck on (except the cycle). I guess everyone needs to buy more now...

most people down here see that moose and it doesn't make sense to them! Go figure! lol
I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it!

We have placed our decals as AndySG has indicated, one side bow the other stern.
And as 520eek has said no one over here can figure them out.
Once however I was conversing with some paddlers at a portage in the Adirondacks about our SR canoe, also extremely rare in NE. They asked about the sticker and one of them said he had seen it before, I got a bit excited and asked him where, he said in the parking lot for this entry. My excitement quickly faded as I knew it was our car, oh well, eventually it will happen.

@ Bobba,
That is a common story in Nebraska also...What is the BWCA? and what is with the Moose? and why are you going to Wisconsin? And what is this camp out thing your going to in Minnesota? hahahaha
I here it often about the Stickers. I do my best to explain.

Is that a BMW emblem on your KLR? that's funny."

I also have been blatant in my disregard for the legal placement of said decal and have opted for best visual placement or grouping. I'm thinking also that I have not been stopped because they simply cannot catch me. :]
I have enough steeekers to make me very fast.
I tried to load a pic but it would take.
