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 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....
