I think there is a little confusion here. You have to buy a stamp on your 1st 2 licenses. ie.---I got one on my fishing & then another on my spring turkey tag. I applied for elk tags & received thru the mail with no problems at all. Never had a problem of the" DOW--holding hostage."

I think some of the confusion is it's a $10 stamp but you only have to buy a 1/2 on your 1st 2 licenses. $5 per half. CB
