Has anyone heard about the license extensions???

[GOLDTIP]

I heard some talk today about the DNR extending our licenses until april can anybody give me more details on the truth and does it go for house licenses also to whatever date if it's true.

well i lnow that when you buy your new license they are good for 14 months ,i have saw and heard that they are good til 4/30/2008 this year but i wont take any chances and you will need to buy it anyway so might as well buy it when it says they expire

I had heard that also, I checked the DNR web site and found nothing yet.


If nobody has found anything out by this afternoon, I'll be meeting with the local DNR around 3, I'll ask then.

Your current license says it expires on Feb. 29, 2008, but it's good until April 30, 2008 so technically your license is good for 14 months, but the expiration date on your new license will say April 30, 2008. Which will be the new expiration date from now on. So they are still only good for one year.

Here is a link to the DNR.
