Life time license

[skells23]

Does any one know what kind of documentation you need to purchase a life time lecense? Its my little brother's 30th bday coming up and i want to purchase him a life time sportsman as a surprise gift. If you need a license i think i could pull off grabbing it and making a copy of it but i dont know if they would accept it.

I  think he  has  to  sign  for it  so  put the  check in  a  card  and tell him  you'll take  him  down to get it

I think Trapper is correct.  It's been a while since I bought mine but I imagine you need proof of Hunter Ed (previous license) and proof of being a current resident (driver license).

I checked the link that Mac provided and found an interesting fact.....with my lifetime NY license it remains valid even if I move to another state....so when I move to Florida I just need to update my new address with the state and I'll continue to receive my new license every year....that was good to hear

You also retain resident status if you purchase additional licenses. I have my lifetime hunt/fish but not my archery when I lived in VA I was able to buy my archery tag at resident cost.

Update.. I contacted my local town hall and they said since he already is in the dec system as far as hunting and fishing license all i need i a picturebof his drivers license. Now i just need to figure out how to get a hold of that without him knowing.

They are a great gift for sure, I just bought my grandson his for his 5th birthday, he will always have hunting/fishing privileges in New York state.

Great gift. I have had one for some time now.
Got my tags in the mail last week and DMP's are in the mail..

can you print out a copy of one then write in his name to give him?  then you can purchase a real one the correct way.

I advise all to get lifetimes if your state offers it.  we had them for years but not anymore.  they raised the price on them a couple times and people got wise and all bought lifetimes. they did away with them after seeing their cash cow dying.  they still raising tags and stamp for those that have to buy them.  I think 1 deer tag is 20something now days.  mine paid for itself years ago.  all I have to buy to hunt or fish is federal stamps.  but I don't hunt anything federal so I been running free for better than 25years.  get yours before you cant anymore!  we also have lifetime carry permits.

What's a "lifetime carry permit"?

Bought my Life Time Fishing only, sorry don't hunt, the 2nd year offered. Crazy amount of time to get it but well worth it. I believe $250 at the time. Paid for itself 6 years ago. Finally convinced wife to get hers and will be paid for in 2 years. Love the forever in which state you live and can fish here for free.........
