How do you get your license every year: Sporting goods store, big-box store, online, DEC / DNR office? What are the costs of the licenses-tags-stamps you typically get?
I had the pleasure today of being a young Walmart clerk's first license sale. Nice young lady. She was so nervous. When I went up to the counter and asked for hunting and fishing licenses, she turned beet-red. "I do know how to do it, I just haven't actually done one yet!" she said. But she got right to it. She didn't know that DMPs are also called "doe permits," and whoever trained her hadn't told her about our state's $5.00 voluntary Habitat Stamp, but she did fine. She was worried, as she looked over all the tags coming out of the machine, that I hadn't gotten both of the DMPs I'd asked for, but I explained how that works and that quite often the hunter doesn't get a permit for the Wildlife Management Unit requested.
She seemed very pleased that it all came out right and I thanked her very much. Another customer had come along by then, a guy a little older than me, and we told her about the old days of paper licenses and actual sticky stamps and how good the artwork on the stamps was. I still have quite a few of those old licenses. Wish I'd kept them all.
