There have only been three methods that have resulted in sustainable game populations:

1. Use of hunting methods that are difficult and dangerous, so as to limit hunting. Even this resulted in the destruction of numerous big game species in pre-columbian america.

2. Regulation of hunting by private ownership of game, and land, with privately managed game populaitons. This has worked fairly well in Europe, but has generally restricted hunting to a small, elite group.

3. State regulation of hunting with licenses, bag limits, and numerous other restrictions, but with much public land available for hunting. This has been used with considerable sucess in the United States for about a hundred years.

Brings a whole new meaning to ‘Road Kill’. ;-)

“to show they have the necessary permits for hunting and fishing on their drivers’ licenses”

I guess this means you can shoot from your car? :^)

Wouldn't a sportsman still have to go get kill tags every year?

The drivers license might say they have the right to go hunting, but without kill tags there would be no way to limit the number of ( deer, turkeys, etc) animals killed.

Interesting analysis in your comment. A lifetime license in Idaho makes sense if you're young enough.

Awesome.

Maybe you can just download your kill tags from the DNR on your iPhone when you shoot something.

John (served in Viet Nam) Kerry will be down there to “git me one of them” licenses, I’m sure.

The problem I see on the horizon is that the licenses will require an “annual renewal” to be vaild.......and with that, an additional fee for the renewal. Wisconsin would surely like something like that as it would continue to bring in the revenue they sooooooooo dearly cherish.

Simply stated, “There ain’t no free lunch”.

More data at the following links. The lifetime licenses include more than just hunting/fishing.

Lifetime License Application

Lifetime Licenses - Purchase, Renew, Validate

Makes sense. A buddy of mine (who used to live in Louisiana) used to hunt turkey and pheasant with a big old Buick. :)

I don’t see that on their current application form for their lifetime licenses. All this legislation does is allow for the lifetime license to be noted on the Drivers License thus not needing the actual hunting/fishing license in your possession. LA already has lifetime licenses, example $500 for an adult resident.

I said it could be on the horizon.....As the annual income from license sales depletes (the one time $500 bucks), the potential for additional income from the renewals would be a God send to the state coffers. I would NOT be surprised to see that happen.

That made me think of Carry_Okie’s tagline, which I noticed for the first time recently in an EPA thread, and which I think is spot on:

(The environment is too complex and too important to manage by central planning.)

Dude, how can you renew a LIFETIME license?

Are you a lawyer, cause this sounds like something a lawyer would say.

Cool, register to vote and get a license to bag Democrats at the same time.

So, what is the limit on Democrats? Is there a season for liberals or is it year round?

I figure since they are as prolific and destructive as feral pigs, then the season should be about the same. We can hunt them at night, right? Instead of putting out corn feeders, we can put up blinds in front of piercing shops, gay bars, medical marijuana outlets, holistic food stores, union halls, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc.

How much competition is there getting a Democratic tag for Berkeley, Detroit or Chicago?

Are Louisiana hunting licenses reciprocal with IL, MI or CA?

Never mind - Austin is closer.

Dang, that last frame is no longer funny. Might be again real soon, though.

Maybe someday I'll make a collage or something out of it, but those physical memories, so satisfyingly chronological, abruptly stopped the year I got my lifetime license.

Perhaps the state could let lifetime license holders, for a nominal fee (say $1-$5 postpaid), receive an "official" certification document that indicated that as of that year they were a lifetime license holder in good standing, and had indicated a desire to participate in that year's hunting. They would not be required to carry such document with them, but the state would only issue such documents to people who were eligible, and individuals who wished to do so could keep such documents as evidence of their historical status as long as they wished, beyond the time the state would normally keep such records.
