It's That Time of Year

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

Everybody that lives in a State that has an annual fishing license renewal program make sure you are legal before you hit the water!! Getting my 09 on-line today. That is one area where the DNR around here do not cut any slack. You have to have it and have it in your possesion/on your person. I was wade fishing the shenandoah one year and I was 50 feet from my jeep when the DNR came up to me in a canoe. They asked for my license and I pointed to my jeep parked on the bank and told them it was right there and that I did not want to carry it and get it wet. I got a ticket. :angry: no discussion, no excuses.

Tox, that dude was a real jerk. I would have challenged that one. TN has a combo hunt and fish licence, so ours don't expire until end of Feb after hunting is all over. What do you all have to pay over there? TN is $28 for hunt (small game) and fish, and 18 for trout.

Kentucky fishing licenses expire the end of February. My wife and I always get the Joint Husband-Wife license, which is $36 annually (saves $4 instead of getting seperate licenses).

Good reminder... Illinois and Wisconsin are March 30, 2009. Thanks for getting us to look.

My hunting and fishing license never expires. I got my Lifetime Hunting and Fishing License here in Alabama 20 years ago for my 16th birthday. Never have to worry about expiration dates.

 

[Michael Meier]

In Virginia (and quite a few other states) they are good for a calander year from date of purchase.

:unsure:

Hey at least we don't have to wear it in a pouch displayed!

 

[Bill Hamilton]

Just hit the magic number for my age to buy the lifetime license. Just sent away for it yesterday. Only $55! Guess sometimes it pays to get old(er). LOL

 

[Carlos Hathcock III]

Way cool Bill! Or should we say Old Man?????? HAHAHAHAHAHA



I need to look at mine and see the exp date now that you mention it.

 

[Scott Hammer TOXIC]

I knew it was calander year so I looked at mine and it is 02/09 so I am good for a while. This year I might get the salt as well because I just know CIII will take me below the 301 bridge for the striper run this year. :lol:

You can always do like I did, Serve 20+ years in the Military and become 90% Disabled and the state of Oklahoma will give you a free Liftime License for fishing and hunting. Then you show that to the City that you live in they will also give you a free Lifetime License Hunting/Fishing.

 

[Mini]

Greg,



I know your pain. This is licensing for basically one lake...lol



I have held licenses for Michigan, Ontario, Walpole, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennesee, Florida, Alabama and Texas in one calander year before....

 

[JR F]

Heck Mini, you forgot Indiana and Teri's Cabin on Patoka......:lol:

 

[Mini]

I would love to fish Patoka. Maybe soon, hopefully before she sells the place!
