LICENSE BUYERS--2012 Sporting Licenses Go All Electronic
The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (DFW) is announcing that all licenses and permits will be computer generated by either a home computer, participating license vendor, or from a DFW office. This means the elimination of handwritten licenses. The new system will also offer an option to check your 2012 game harvest online instead of at a traditional check station.
Licenses, stamps, and permits for the 2012 calendar year will be available for purchase in early December as will hard copies of the 2012 Guides to Hunting, Fishing, and Trapping. More information on the new system.
