Can you get your trapping license renewed over the counter or do you have to go through the state F&G? I can go to most any sporting goods store and get my hunting license but have to go through the state to renew my trapping license. I remember back in the day when you could only purchase a hunting license through the town office from the town in which you lived. They've come a long ways since then.

OTC at any licensing agent= sporting goods stores Walmart and a bunch of gas stations in addition to regional offices of the G&F it’s all done on the poorer. 1st time registered trapper ID# must be done at the G&F HQ This is not necessary to get a license.

Over the counter or online. We don't even have to have a paper copy,we can just have a "virtual permit". I wish the license was good for something like November 1-october 31 instead of January 1-december 31 though. It's annoying to have to renew it halfway through the season.

Still have to go to...or mail (I think..nevah done it) into headquarters to get a trapping license. I was a kid...at the local hardware store in 1971...and filled out hunting and fishing licenses.....all you needed to show was a resident tax receipt....to prove you were a resident of the state.

I can get mine online, at Walmart, sporting goods stores, or at the NDOW office

I hear that next year you will be able to get a Maine Trapping License on line, which reminds me I need to login and get my Maine Hunting License. Been getting my Maine Hunting License online for the past twelve years.

I can see where that would be a real pain but at least you can do it online. I have to mail mine in and it might sit on the guys desk for two weeks before he gets around to processing it. Mine expires next June.

That would be great, eb. I hope you're right about that.

Bought my first Fur Catchers License at the courthouse as that was the only place to get it. Now I can renew my Commercial Trappers License online from my phone.

I got my first one at Rural King. I just go to my new one online.


Trapping is what built North America, why take that away?
