Bummer! I'm missing my buck permit
 

I was issued 2 permits by IL DNR. One an antlerless-only and one an either sex. They have always came same day in mail, in seperate envelopes. This year? One envelope. I figured maybe they had gotten smart and were saving $ by using one envelope. Nope. I just got one permit and it was the antlerless-only. I waited a while to see if it would come but it hasn't so I'll have to pay them additional money to get another permit re-issued.

Hey Illinois is broke ! they gotta make some funds some how, May as well be on the backs of sportsman !

I hunted it as a non resident a couple of times. Expensive place to hunt with some weird rules for applying for tags. Nice deer though.

You aint kiddin about EITHER. I remember the first time I applied as a Res. here. I was like "I gotta do what???" Pain in the arse to put it mildly.

Michigan is so easy, as an really old fart I walk into LGS, wal mart Meijer's hardware store hand them my drivers license tell them I want a combo (2 buck tags) fire arm deer license. Pay my senior $28.00 and walk out the door. My area has a 5 doe a day limit over the counter license's also same method, but you have to do it every day till you get all you want.




:D Al

Vermont is real easy especially for someone over 64. A one time fee of 50 bucks buys you a lifetime hunting and fishing tag with all the appropriate tags like bear, deer, small game, archery, ML, and turkey. Those tag fees normally are around $100 for each year. The only added tag fee is if someone wants an additional archery tag. On Jan 1 each year you go to the VT F&W department web site put in your custom number, hit renew (all at no charge) and print and it all comes out on a sheet of paper. I keep a copy in the truck, boat and one in my wallet.

Wow that's sweet!

Yes it is but does come at an indirect cost. Vermont is a very expensive state to call home. But home is where it is at least for me. I love Vermont just the way it is.

Stories like this make me glad I live in Tennessee.

The additional money is $3 so it isn't like it's a crime. I do feel that it is their responsibiblity to get it to me. Probably lost in the USPS system somehow is my guess.
