One down

[kpkot]

Daughter turned 4. Bought her a lifetime license for her birthday.  Lol she was confused when she opened her gift I dont think she quite grasped the concept. One down now just to get my son his.

I laughed out loud in the store when I saw the 3'00". Brother got her a pink crossman 760 bb gun. Threw it in the safe for when she can fully grasp the firearm safety part.

When does that lifetime need to be purchased before they turn 4 or 5?

My boys just turned 12 and received their "welcome" packet from the state. I bought theirs right before the price increase AND when they were still 3 so I think I paid $300 per kid. One is more interested than the other (twins) so getting them to BOTH do the pre-work and the safety course is my first challenge.

I keep meaning to do so for my son but things just doesn't seem to come together.  Either he's with me but we're heading in a different direction than the licensing office or I'm heading in that direction but it's inconvenient to have him with me.  I have time though.  He's just 3.

Way to go, Kevin !  I bought my grandson his for his first birthday....

[BizCT]

what happens if you move out of state, is it still valid?

[turkeyfeathers]

Awesome !!

I kept on saying I need to do this. She had a Ruger 10/.22 and a youth 20 gauge in the safe before she could walk. Now she's 14 and the price has jumped a lot. I'm a dumb azz for not doing it way back when

I didnt have daughter with me when I bought it. They said she didnt need to be. I had to have her birth certificate and my drivers license to proove residency.

To each their own, but to me it seems a bit premature to buy a 4 year old a lifetime hunting license.  We need to remember that not everyone grows up to be a hunter, even those who grew up in a hunting family.  You just can't force it on anyone.  If they show interest in it when they are of hunting age then by all means buy it for them then, even if it cost more then.  I am also quite reluctant to give the state of NY any of my money in advance for something like hunting privileges that are 10 years or more down the road.  Hell, this state would prefer we didn't own any guns at all, so why am I to believe that my kid will be allowed to own a gun or hunt years down the road?  I'm far from convinced thus they ain't getting any of my money at this point.

It's cheap insurance if he decides to become a hunter . It's a great idea ,I plan to buy my son a lifetime before he turns 5 as well.

[stoneam2006]

I plan on buying mine and my boys before we move so we can always come back and hunt here

The other way I look at this is I now have a paid for contract with the state that many others do as well, this makes it that much harder for the state to take hunting away.  In addition you will always have a resident hunting license in NY even if you move away, allowing you to come back and hunt with family.

If all falls in place. House is on market now if anyone is looking for a nice house in the hinsdale olean area.

Sorry for hijack.

Lifetimes in my opinion are one of the best investments hunters can make for their kids while young. State keeps raising the price and think of the money you save the kid in the long run and yourself while they are still young.

My parents did the same for me when I was 4, I am now 35 and it was one of the best gifts I could have ever received.  I plan on doing the same when the opportunity arises.

[Fletch]

I bought my son his when he was 4. He is 15 now and will get many years of hunting and fishing long ago paid for! My wife bought me mine 20 plus years ago. It paid for itself in 12-13 years. And still good if we move out of state is even better.

Good to know.  That changes things.  I was always under the impression he also had to be there.
