I'm confused too, but I'm a non-res.

What I hate is buying a license/tag, then having to buy a stamp, and then a license/permit.

I think it should all just be included per permit, 1 piece of paper that has it all, tag, license, stamp etc....

I'm sure tons of guys go hunting and forget to get their stamp, or license, then every state is diferent too. Some states tags are permits, or licenses.
