Reminder 2011 License sales start Monday the 15th and other news

[HuntingNY]

Hello everyone,

Wow, the turkey, deer and bear seasons are right around the corner! The 2011 Licenses go on sale August 15th (Monday), so remember to get your DMP's also if you choose to do so.    You can order them online through the NYS DECALS system or in person at a licensing agent.  It looks like the new licenses are brown according to the post below.  How many of you run out to buy your license on the first day?  Chime in here: http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php/topic,5329

A lot of members on the site have reported that they have already received their 2011 Licenses because they have the "Lifetime" as well as receiving the new "Credit Card" style lifetime card.  I have yet to see what one of these looks like or what exactly it is. 

There are a ton of amazing trail camera pictures  and videos up in the Trail Camera section of the site, check them out here: http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php/board,15.0.html

Justification for the $1,000...lol

[burmjohn]

LOL!

[steve863]

For $1000 I would at least want one of those Big Rack women pictured on the license instead of a stupid drooling black bear! LOL

[RobC]

Pretty much it lol. That and it will hold up better when it goes through the washer.

[burmjohn]

Does it say anything on the back?

[Culvercreek hunt club]

so let me get this straight. If you buy a lifetime you get this card. you still have to carry the card along with the carcass tags...right? Take sup more room in the wallet than tha paper tags...costs more to put out...Sounds to me like NY found another soultion for a problem that doesn't exist. I wonder what the replacement charge is for that baby.

[burmjohn]

Yeah but why even carry it, I'm still lost on the purpose of it.  Unless you use it for fishing???

[Doewhacker]

Does it say anything on the back?

It reads, Congradulations, you gave a grand and we gave you this piece of plastic, and has a pic of a guy giving you the finger. lol

[RobC]

It has all the information your paper license has on the back. You don't have to carry your paper if you have the plastic one. I only carry the tags i'm hunting for at a time so my wallet isn't overflowing. Replacement fee is 5 bucks same as your paper license. Ya it's not a necessity but it's a nice to get something from a state that normally gives you the s#@t end of the stick if anything at all.

For $1000 I would expect it to be one of those hologram pictures of the finger, so when you move the card slightly the finger wiggles side to side.  Or maybe they will save those cards for when the DEC decides to implement AR's across the whole state and take away our antlerless bow/muzzleloading tags.  LOL

[RobC]

I only paid 600

[growalot]

I thought you ALWAYS have to have your tags clearly visible on your back or person any time in the field hunting....

I see where the plastic card would be great for fishing...that way you can just leave all other field tags home and safe

[RobC]

You still have to carry your license with you not just your back tag.

[bubba]

You only have to display your license in the SZ.  Here in the NZ we do not have to display our license.

Regardless of where you are it's my understanding you have to carry your license.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

still need the back tag on the SZ---NZ haven't needed it in years. The carcass tags still have to be carried while you are hunting the game the tags are for

[RobC]

License and back tags are two different things.

[u812sds]

sz you don't have to display during bow season

For $1000 I would at least want one of those Big Rack women pictured on the license instead of a stupid drooling black bear! LOL

I would even settle for a drooling big racked woman !
