Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know how many people actually keep the receipt they receive with their fishing license. I always order my licenses online and a week later, a nice license comes on the nice water-resistant paper. The license itself is only the top 1/3 of the sheet of paper. But on the paper, it says "Keep this in a safe place" or something.
A few years back, I thought I had lost my wallet and was in the process of replacing everything. I figured since I had a receipt, I could just order a new fishing license since it hadn't expired. After all, I had the receipt.
Turns out it doesn't matter. Lucky for me, I found my wallet, but still...why do they tell you to keep the receipt if you can't replace the license if necessary?
And while I'm up on my soap box, do we really need such a big license size? I would absolutely LOVE it if they put all of the information on a single card, like the size of other government IDs and such. They could even do a sticker system for second pole permits and what not. Anyway, I digress.
Do you keep your license receipt? Why?
Why not switch to credit card-sized licenses?
