I haven't really fished much for several years but I get a combo license every renewal anyway. I renewed for 3 years in Dec. not realizing the fishing license was free for geezers at 65. I turned 63 in Jan. so I guess I've already paid for 2016 when I'll be a geezer! I wonder if I can get a rebate, lol.

63, you may not be a senior, but you are geezer Canthitathing. Lol

Your not doing bad if your " running " to the end of your leash . What kind of vitamins are you taking to still run ? LOL I just walk now . LOL but do howl at the moon . LOL

So were giving all the old people a break on their fishing license? Since most of you old guy's are retired or semi retired shouldn't we actually charge you more? I mean you have more time to hunt and fish which means more game. So maybe just maybe we should actually charge a premium for you license. I don't know something like 2% surcharge for each year over 59. :shades::silly:

Maybe a one year test period then if it doesn't work we could have it phased out over say the next 7 years. Could work and generate some revenue as a cushion for the no fee test period.

Well, I'm glad you fogies "figgered out how to use them computers". No hunting conversations would be the quite same without the input of the older guys. Reminds me that I always have more to learn, no matter how much I think I already know.

When I get to 65 I will be buying the small game one year at a time. Not going to get any extra cash out me if I decide to take a Dirt Nap .
