Take a look at the above link. It shows the break down of license sales.

I guess they like the non resident sales over us residents

This sucks for you guys! I bought a lifetime in 09 so i don't have to deal with all this crap. 

[dbHunterNY]

I also heard that your sporting licenses will be linked to your drivers license....I am guessing there will be a fee with this option.

 

only for lifetime licenses and if you so desire.

 

....that's what I was told anyway

I used to gt stamps when I first started hunting. Was so long ago but I beleive you had to sign across the stamp as well?

I still have all my papers with my stamps somewhere.

 

same here but I'm only 30 so it wasn't that long ago.

[dbHunterNY]

for a supersportsman it's a dollar cheaper but instead of getting one thing I've got to get them all.  a little cheaper for buying single licenses but I remember when it was only $19 for a big game license.  it's nothing spectacular and not saving much as a resident.  non-residents will be happy though. idk

yup it will take umm a minute longer to do it individually.  What an inconvenience.

And everything was on that 1 piece of paper other the your back tag and a party permit if you got one,Not that roll of toilet paper junk you get now.And if you have a life time lic. and apply for Archery and MZ. loader you get a duplicate and another roll of toilet paper.Someone must have relatives in DECALS,paper companies and ink and printer companies. Well that's progress in the computer world.

I don't see the screw job in the new system that people are complaining about, The only problem I see is that non residents are getting a bigger break than the residents, and I'm pretty sure your drivers license was always linked to your hunting license.......in the past if I didn't have an old license when I bought my new one, my drivers license was all they needed to look me up.

Exactly. This change is not a big hassle, but it doesnt save us much. Who cares...carry on....

Has only been linked since using this new system where you get the wad of tags to put in your pocket...lol. When we had the stamps it wasn't.

 

The Non-resident cuts are the ones that piss me off. Give the people that aren't burdened with NY's crazy taxes the break on the licenses. That seems fair. I actually like the a la carte feature of this.  It could save guys that don't hunt everything of fish a break.

So if you put the Lifetime Sporting Icons on your Drivers License would you need to carry any other paper work while you are afield?

You would still need carcass tags I would assume

The NTA (NY Trappers Association) were able to influence the final product of this proposal and get their concerns addressed...

Why was the NTA opposed to including trapping licenses with hunting?

[EspressoBuzz]

Geeze you guys are never happy about anything! A dollar ain't enough! This has to be a conspiracy! Out of state hunters are gonna come here an buy all our ammo! The sky is falling!

 

No wonder all the non gun owners are afraid of us!

 

P.S. I wear a tin foil hat while hunting under a camo one of course!

I don't know, but I cant see how this would not have complicated the DEC's ability to survey trappers. But then again, the big guys say this all simplifies things, what do I know...

[taly35]

Is not so bad, we still can Hunt and Fish in NY. The way this bloooooooodsuckers in Albany are acting we are lucky to hunt and fish.....

 

[dszymo]

so there is no longer a doe tag good for muzzleloader and archery with the supersportsman?  so you pay a dollar less a get one less tag.

 ^{I went though everything that was on the super sportsman license to see how much I will save on licenses though the new structure and I save 1 dollar!!!!}

[bubba]

yup been mentioned as few times

[mike rossi]

800,000 people save one dollar each and the conservation fund losses $800,000 annually. In ten years each hunter saves ten dollars and the fund losses 8 MILLION DOLLARS!

 

 I am about sick of repeating myself about the idiots running the show... And I don't mean  Albany or Washington... And I don't mean the DEC either... Guess again...
