Lifetime License Came In The Mail Today

[Cabin Fever]

Don't recall ever getting it this early (7/30) before? My son's didn't arrive today though. Hopefully soon...

[Fletch]

Mine came as well. It is coming quick!

[sbuff]

last year mine came in the middle of Sept.....Nice to see they are starting early.

With a life time license do you only get a regular sportsman?If so how do you get doe permit,s do you have to apply for them year after year or are they included,I was thinking of buying but was not sure how it work's

[Cabin Fever]

Every year, you just take your new license to any license issuing agent and tell them what area(s) you would like your doe tags for, then they issue you the tags.

[Dom]

Well this sound's like something that I'm going to do because within several years it pay's you back.Guess I better get it this year just incase this broke state revokes our choice to buy them this way.

[Early]

They don't just issue DMP tags....You must apply, but with the lifetime license, there is no charge to apply.

[Pygmy]

Good idea, Dom...I wish I had done it when it was first available I was about your age at the time.. Seemed like a lot of money, but if I had bought it then, I'd be money ahead now. Too late for me now..I'll never live long enough to make it worthwhile..

I bought my son a lifetime sportsman and lifetime bowhunting licence when he was only 4 years old. I paid $250 for the sportsman (free turkey and doe tags included) and $125 for the bowhunting. He's 17 now, so he'll get my moneys worth!!

That's cool.How can you purchase these if the children have not taken the courses?Just a qustion not trying to start a debate about this.

Got Mine! Daughter not yet. she had her hunter ed at 11 years old, I bought her the lifetime license for her 12th B-day before the price increase. Then the DEC just mailed out tags available for her at that age(Spring turkey tags).

You can purchase it, but they just need to take their safety course(s) before they get issued a license. No biggie...

You only get free DMP's if you purchsed your lifetime license before Oct 1st 2009.

I get it all free as I turned 70 last year . No hurry to request the DMPs as they aren't 1st come .... 1st served . No more of the "gotta get to the Clerk's office and get the license and DMP's " .

[bush hill]

I haven't gotten mine yet. I bought the sportsmans when I was 18, I bought it with graduation money. Then I bought my muzz and bow when I was 20 after I got my first job out of college. Now at 33 I have more than gotten my money back. I also bought my son his before he was a year old right before the price increase.

[biggamefish]

If they are issuing the licences I would figure the rules and regs are set. right?

Thats very cool, I never knew you could get a license at that age.

[Cabin Fever]

[Terry]

Mine came about 3 days ago.

[Gthphtm]

Even 70 or over,archery and MZ loader are free but you have to apply for the They just are not sent to you unless you paid extra for them in 2009 to be added to your lifetime lic.,Also Doe permits you have to apply and tell them your first and second choice if the have them for the area you are applying for.

Mine came the end of last week. Now i need to get my son one. Wish i had done mine when I first started hunting. Also wish i had gotten the muzz stamp before the hike.

I figure another 3-4 years and i will be making my money back.

Don't count on it !

[Lawdwaz]

No license for me yet.

Nothing for me. I didn't get mine until the first week in Sept last year.
