Got mine. Went to the TP&W office and nobody in line.

Make sure you get the Feral Hog Stamp and tags if you think you want to shoot hogs this year. They are free but you have to ask for them.

Bought mine online super easy

Ditto.

done

I'm not to fond of waiting in a long line the day before and won't buy it online and your old license should be good till the first!

Got mine on the 15th. They had to reprint mine twice because the new gal behind the counter couldn't get things right.

You do. I got a ticket one time because I bought a new fishing license and tossed the old one.
New one wasn't "in effect" yet, is how he put it.

just bought it online.

done.

I didn't know you could buy online. It was awesome. Like always, great information on this forum.

I understand where they're coming from, but you'd think they could look it up and see that you have a valid license. You get a verbal warning to hold onto it and it's a done deal.

sure beats standing in line at Wally's.

These days they can look it up.
Back then it wasn't possible.
I got a copy of the old license and sent it to the JP. He dropped the ticket.

Same here. The last time I bought a one at Walmart I had to wait for ever for someone to wait on me. The sporting goods dept. SUX bigtime.

Right, me either...

I know you can buy fishing as pro rated or however they term it, so those valid dates may not run concurrent to the hunting license if you go that route, what I did 2 years ago.

So easy, this year they have it set up to where it had everything I added to my license last year so I didn't have to go through everything and click all the boxes, like the one year I forgot to add the HIP cert to mine after buying it.

I noticed that too.
And I left off the HIP one year.

I have purchased my license online the last 3 years or so. It's so much easier.

I went to Academy and there was only one guy ahead of me and he was finishing up.
Federal Duck Stamp and print off Lifetime Combo license and tags.


Back when I first got my Lifetime (1991) there was a lady down Austin you could call. Part of her job was to take care of the Lifetime License program. That was easy and she was fun to chat with.
The Duck Stamp you could get at the Post Office.

I don't think anyone around here is going to bite on that one but it was funny.

Did mine online. It took literally a minute to buy the supercombi, hip, duck stamp, and annual public.

crap I forgot my teal tags.

Just got mine today!

Don't forget your HIP certification for migratory birds.

This is my new license. Valid 08/15/19 through 08/31/20

I guess they changed it. I do not know where last years license is right now, otherwise I would see if it was different last year.

Wondering about this. If I shoot a deer and haul it to a processor with no paper tag, am I legal? If I shoot a legal buck, take it home and process it myself, what keeps me from shooting another one?

No. Processor would not take it without tag.
Morals, but neither would be a legal buck.
