Lifetime Hunting and Fishing license question
Posted on 9/21/20 at 9:38 pm

I’m buying one this year, but there is supposedly a several week waiting period. Do they offer a temporary one so I won’t have to buy two licenses this year?

Print and carry your receipt, that's all you need

Should be able to use your receipt.

You can’t buy it online though. Supposedly it takes several weeks to even get a response. Anyone ever buy one?

I bought one for my daughter about a year ago.
Went to WLF headquarters with her birth certificate, ss card, and the filled out app. Gave them $200 and they gave me a receipt. The receipt will suffice until the card comes in.
I’m sure you will need your hunter safety card or DL.

Just got mine last week after a 4 or 5 week wait. Had to print a form and mail it in with check for amount. They don't answer the phone because of the virus effecting their staffing. It's really a joke!

I wish I would have known about the age groups and cost associated with them when I bought my sons about 15 years ago. 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 bought my sons before he turned 16 for 300. He still thanks me for doing that for him

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.

Where do you live? If you drop application off at LDWF office it gets processed in like 5 days.

I did one in July and it was in in under a month.

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....

I got a replacement for my Boater's Safety course that I took in 1988 through the Louisiana Jr. Deputy Program. Louisiana still had a record of it. Because of my age, I am grandfathered in but I still wanted a copy of it.

I’m in North Louisiana. I went ahead and mailed it. I got in touch with them today on the phone. They said it’s possible I may have to buy a yearly this year if I don’t get it before the season. It sucks you can’t buy it online.

If you run any kinds of fishing traps you can get the lifetime for them also.
