No More Back Tags?
« on: August 05, 2024, 08:28:08 PM »
My kids and I just got our lifetime licenses in the mail and it’s now on 8-1/2”x11” paper.  WTF.  The letter basically says it’s an effort to modernize and reduce our carbon footprint!
The letter also says that hunters are not required to wear back tags while hunting in NY. 
What a change in tradition.  How do you tag a deer with a piece of paper?  Do you even have to tag them anymore or just call it in?

I'm sure. Still have to call in, which many don't. Went to local town hall to get doe tags. Said they haven't been updated with new system yet. Progress in action.

Went to town hall to get doe tags. They weren't set up for licenses yet. A bait shop I used to get tags at is no longer doing licenses anymore.

Chalk it up to all the money that is supposed to go towards all the technology for our licenses going to state police background checks for purchasing ammunition etc.! It’s sickening how the state is misappropriating funds !! Seems they want people to print extra tags and welcome the illegal tagging to help wipe out deer population! Another “improvement” from the wicked witch and her administration(or whatever you call her cronies)!
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
