BassAsin Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 $51.77? was it that much last year for a one year sport license?? Seems high. From what i have heard, if you purchased a 2012 fishing license in the year 2011 it was 27.76 if purchased in 2012 the price is 51.77. what a crock of the brown stuff. a heads up on the changes would have been nice, myself and my father included both work for the MNR and didn't even have a heads up on the new system change or the price change, thankfully i was able to purchase a license in 2011 while the system was up and running. even funnier, if a store owner has issues with the system they have an assistance line they can call, heres the funny part, they get to talk to somebody in tennesse. about an ON, fishing license.

I just assumed it was mistake. If they are trying punish me for waiting one extra day, I guarantee they'll be seeing/hearing from me loud and clear. I don't mind a few glitches, but such an increase is insane. And for the Tennessee thing... Go figure, here we are dealing with the lowest bidder.

Something is wrong there Chad.. it says right on the renewal form that the one year licence fees listed are in effect from Jan 1, 2012 to Dec 31 2012. The three year licence fees are subject to change after Aug 31 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted the lowest bidder they would have went with China....of course you license would of broke in half after it's first time used.... NYS DECAL system comes from San Diego, Kalifornia....go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torco Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can't believe all the issues people are having renewing. It took me a few minutes online to renew for 3 years and I have paper copy printed until my card arrives plus I have it saved as a pdf copy so if I ever lose my paper copy I am good. Anyways I am surprised none the less because it was such a smooth process for myself and for any of my friends I have talked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped in at Young's today, the ONLY local license retailer (non-gov), 35kms from North Bay and they said it's 27.76 for a 1yr sport, no matter the date. Hiltop Variety in North Bay was supposed to be the test-retailer for the new system however they were shut down on account that they were charged with possesion of child porn I'm gonna have to print off my Visa statement because they didn't send me a receipt (thx MNR) and bring it in to the Service Ontario crew to get an explanation/refund on my 51.77 Bob: probably true... they would have been made from arsenic coated iridium plates.

Fisherman Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 And like I said before, no point in crankin and moaning here, nothing OFC is going to do about it. Email, snail mail the idiot that runs the MNR. Go to your local newspaper, get them interested and make them look like complete morons, not that it would take much.

Fish Farmer Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I talked to a friend last night that is a MNR officer in my area. He said we are going to have the same system as the states. They'll be a few glitches till things are working properly. Hunting license, when you buy a deer license it goes directly into the system and your bar code on the license, no paper sticker. You'll be mailed your deer tag. He said the system works better than the card. Maybe Billy Bob can shed some light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be mailed your deer tag. He said the system works better than the card. Maybe Billy Bob can shed some light. Like I said earlier, when the new DECAL system went into affect it was almost impossible to get a license....was seriously considering going without one that year...but now it's a fine system. Here in NYS we probably do thing a bit different, but I'll try to explain our easy system. Our hunting / fishing licenses run from October 1st to Sept 30th....with our new licenses available around mid August each year. Once your in the DECAL system you no longer need to bring a hunting license with you as proof that you hunted prior and have passed a hunter safety course....so that's good....when we in NYS apply for our big game license we have the option ($10) to pick in a instant lottery for 2 anterless (doe) tags in any deer management area of your choice....the state puts out info prior to you picking on which areas have a high, medium, low or none chance to get your tags.....this is another good thing because you get all your tags right there and then... I am told you can purchase these DECAL licenses online but it's just easier for me to go down to the town clerk's office and get it there....they print your license and all your tags at once as they come off the printer tagged together....this license is easily folded and fits in you wallet without a problem....it is also coated to be waterproof... Once in the system you can go to any place that sells NYS hunting / fishing license as the computer has all your info from years past....all you need is last years license OR your driver's license for ID proof...so is also good for those who lose their hunting / fishing license or haven't renewed in several years. I'm sure once the bugs are filtered out you will be able to purchase a license in short order....try EARLY in the morning when the system isn't being bombarded with request....I got mine in a matter of minutes at 5am the other day.

Fish Farmer Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks Bob, that helps to clear the air It's all about change. Old people sometimes don't like change because their programed the old way. I for one didn't like the metric system but it's a easier measurement if you can reprogram an old brain For some reason Walleye comes to mined (Pickerel) I know, Dave your an Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 It was PIA to say the least... but the miracle did happen, it got renewed after 40 days and 40 nights in the storm. Real card not here yet, and the worst of it is... who knows if it ever will be. It's a crapshoot all of it, especially the "MNR store." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 The plastic NYS licenses will almost be completely unreadable after a few weeks rubbing around in a plastic ziplock. As soon as I get mine I put a strip of duct tape over the front and back so the information doesn't get rubbed off. The last thing I need is a DEC officer up my behind because the license is almost impossible to read. Also, expiring on Sept 30th is a crock.

LOL.....you do realize your suppose to put it in your wallet or purse, not drag it around behind your truck.... BTW where are these DEC officers you speak of....I thought they went away with the Dodo bird......last one I seen was about 12 years ago living next door to me...

BillM Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Who carries their wallet on them when they're waist deep in the river? All my licenses are in a ziplock bag and put into the front compartment of my waders. PA doesn't have an issue making licenses that won't rub themselves clean, I guess NYS is behind the times.

Rod Caster Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 i'm trying to call the outdoor card center at 1800-387-7011 and it's been busy for 30 minutes I have no idea how/why they charged 51.77 for a one-year sport license. I should call my CC company and tell them to reverse the charges... then carry on with my Temp license whcih says it expires in Dec 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now go catch a fish, Bob I don't wear my PA license on my hat (or any other part of me) it stays nice and snug in my wader compartment.. Imagine if NY made you wear the license on the outside? It would probably dissolve and go blank within 10 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
