Hunting vs Fishing

[nofish4me]

Why is it, as a senior 65 years old, a fishing license is no longer required, but one must still buy hunting licenses? Does anyone know why the hunting is not like the fishing?

Or, for us those of still on the low side of 65... why is fishing not like hunting where seniors pay there share as well?

 

Is the glass half empty or half full?

Congratulation on your healthy 65 years and enjoy your free fishing seasons ahead of you....you could transfer over to NYS at 70 and get a hunting/fishing license here for free or it may be $5 now....my father always talked about getting his free license at 65 and then the year of they raised the age limit to 70...

this would be a very good question to ask the ministry.

but email them instead of calling so you can post all the different answers they give you.

 

here's my GUESS!!!

 

with fishing you still have to follow the rules, limit, slot size ect.

with hunting you have to get tags, without tags the ministry can't control how many you have shot that season.

You don't need tags for small game hunting

 

And the Canadian Government could charge you a loonie for your tags....here in NYS my son get a FREE hunting/fishing/bow hunting, etc....because he's in the Air Force.
