Then you have to go back to get Coupons for the tagged species. It’s a lazy man who can’t find his wife a second job !

There is no reason the licenses can't expire outside the regular trapping season. July 1 makes sense. I have nothing clever to put here.

No problem as the season is open ! But he never got his Site Validation Coupons ! Reputable guy that has permission by local Warden to move incidental prior to contact. So he brings the Otter home and bright and early the next morning goes to Sporting Goods store where he bought license earlier when Coupons weren’t available. Requests his Coupons and validates the previous day being an honest law abiding trapper. Jump ahead to registration day ! You couldn’t have legally caught an Otter because our records show you received your tags the day after your Validation date ! You good for nothing Poacher ! Otter is confiscated and the trapper loses sleep for the next month ! Thankfully the trapper had a stellar reputation in his County. They refused to prosecute him because of the circumstances. Something needs changed ! It’s a lazy man who can’t find his wife a second job !

Something needs changed ! Georgia law is once a child turns 16 they have to get a license. We always went turkey hunting for my son’s birthday. So, the day before his 16th birthday I’m trying to buy him a license online but can’t because he’s still 15. I call DNR and explain that we’ll be camping/hunting in an area with no cell coverage and I need to purchase his license the day before we leave. They tell me that I can either drive to where I can find coverage after midnight or go the next morning and find a place that sells a license before he can hunt/harvest a bird. Needless to say he got his bird and “tagged” it later that evening when we went into town to get a celebratory birthday/kill dinner, lol.

Pay your insurance bill? Wipe your butt in the morning? If they roll out their app, things are going to look quite a bit different this fall.

How the heck do you guys remember to Wipe your butt in the morning? I have found a post it not next to the throne is helpful. The July 1st suggestion was for trapping season. Before I set traps in the Fall I know I need a new license that lasts through the whole season, not expire in the middle of it. Last edited by 160user; 02/27/25 12:40 PM.

Rob, I guess to me it's not worth spending political Capital My pickup license expires the end of February, if I don't get a renew it. It's my fault. My snowmobile license expires June 1st. Now who's thinking about a snowmobile June 1st? The trapping license renewal has been the 1st of March. The 55 years I've been on this planet.
