The first thing is I have something to talk about a CO can write any ticket they want.

I would visit justice of peace and have ticket thrown out. If CO had to many tickets thrown out the boss would notice.  

You can argue with the JoP if you want but it's pretty clear you are required to carry the card so I'm going to avoid the hassle in the future

At age 65 a person no longer requires a fishing licence. Is it determined after that age a sport or conservation?

 

[Terry]

Sport.  

[Bernie]

Thanks Terry!

I agree just care your licence at all times.

Still have pic in my phone.

I've experienced both extremes. Once forgot my wallet with my license in it, and the CO said no worries, i will call it in. Great experience, nice guy! I didn't realize I'd forgotten it until I'd ordered my breaky at the timmys drive thru....lol

Then last year on the ice, I had the digital copy on my phone, but my phone died, so when he showed up to check, I had no proof of a license. He would not call it in. Said if I didn't show proof, I was getting a $244 fine.  He was being a total jerk about it, and I called him out on it, but no way was he calling anything in. He was with 2 more CO's and 2 cops. I logged into my email from  Loris phone and all was good. 

I saves a lot of Bull by just having a hard copy, and your card on you all the time. 

My card is good for another year, but i will need new hunting/fishing licenses for 2020.

If my card and 3 year isn't here by J1 I'm still going fishing. I have done my part. Dec 3 the first available I bought and paid for licence.

If I get caught I will start with Justice of Piece. Like I said CO can lay any charge.

Or, if you really wanted to, you could print the license summary and carry that until your new card comes like you're supposed to but you seem to prefer the JOP option so fill yer boots.  

[Garnet]

Of course I will have my email and my credit card bill.

The CO can still lay a charge. Waste of paper but they can.

I checked my yellow paper tags. One is for my lic,one is for my sport and the 3rd one is my temporary outdoors card.  So I guess I am covered. New card required next year, so I guess I will get a hard card next year.

 

This mixed up weather is not getting me excited to be in a rush anyways.LOL

What happens if you turn 65 in the summer. Do you still have to purchase cards for the six month period Im still 64?

[irishfield]

Yes you need to buy a license and card for the year you turn 65 

[irishfield]

Certainly can't complain this year. Already have the wife's new 3 year card and fishing licence in my hands, fresh out of the mail box. First day I've grabbed the mail this week, could have been there for 4 days and I bought it late night on the 3rd.

[Terry]

Yup did my outdoors card online dec3 and showed up yesterday in my mail box

[Fisherman]

Looks like the outdoors card machine is working well, got mine today too.

So you still have to have a card when you get old?? Not just a birth certificate?

[Terry]

I need the outdoors card for hunting. Not fishing 

but it has my name and age so it should work as proof of age

I ordered my licence the same day (hour) that Fisherman started this thread. 
it was in the mail box tonight when I got home tonight. 10 days to process and delivered. Truly amazing for a  government agency?

Dan.
Thanks again Fisherman for the reminder.
