If you have a child under the age of 5 I would strongly recommend you purchasing them a lifetime license for 200 if there is even a remote chance that they will either fish or hunt.


I have purchased 3 for my kids before they turned 5. I have 1 more to buy for my 4 year old. Need to get it before next August.

They may not understand now, but they will some day.

Another good tip: Save their LDWF and Hunter's Safety numbers in your phone on NOTES. Very handy when you are trying to pick up their deer tags or put them in for lottery hunts.

I did the mail thing too. I waited couple weeks then called and finally got through. They are about 4-6 weeks behind in getting to the mail. I was told to come up to HQ(I live in BR) and fill out new app. I did this and took me 15 min. Walked out with paper copy, got hard one in mail in a week.
Another couple weeks later I got my application and check returned.

I passed a Hunters safety class in 1982 and do not remember ever having anything from the state with a number on it. I hunted all over the US and parts of Canada, Mexico and Europe and never once needed that number until I moved to Washington State. They have to have it...can't sell a license without it. So I figured I would take the class over...what could it hurt, its free...and the nice young woman asked what state the number was in. I told her Georgia and she said, and I am loosely quoting..."good, its in the south....we should be able to find it...." and with that she pulled up the GA DNR website, worked some internet magic, asked for the last 4 digits of SS number and my birthday, and lo and behold what should appear on her monitor but a scanned image of the card I must have gotten in 1982! Complete with my signtaure! I would have never guessed the state of Georgia would have such a record but they did....
