Pheasant License?

[mitch]

I know in the past if you bought a pheasant license after a certain date in December that it would be good for the rest of the season and the next season. My question is do they still do this? And if so what is the date that you could buy a license and it would still be good for next year? I looked on the DNR HSOforum and couldn't find anything. Thanks for any info.

Typically the next year's hunting/fishing licenses become avaliable around Christmas time. Wish I knew the exact date for you, but it is late December sometime. This system can be used for some hunters to take advantage of a sort of "double dipping" if you will, being able to hunt the next year and part of this year without having to buy two sets of licenses. Something out of staters can use to thier advantage to avoid costly licenses two years in a row.

The date is December 15th. Then your license is good for the current year and also the next year.

Hey Fez Hunt!!

Does that work for the fishing licenses also?? Sure would be nicer to have the license in my pocket rather than run your wheeler clear across the lake to get the current license. Just about froze my aaahhh face off last year.

Thanks for the replies I will probably wait til Dec. to get my license so I can go next year too.

Yes, the fishing license works the same way. You buy your 06 licenese in late 05 and it is good from the date you purchase it until the end of the next season....again, allows you to double dip in a way legally for both fishing and hunting. I always buy my license as soon as they are avaliable and it is nice to have them come out before Christmas so you can give them as gifts if you want to.

When you get as old as you, you'll sometimes forget those important things. I got your new window put in the ice house so we can keep an eye on you while your outside smokin. Get your paint brush ready to touch up the inside.
