Official license check thread

Everyone please post a picture of your license. I really wanna do this for a couple of important reasons.

1) We wouldn't want any gewber on this board to go fish some important tournament without a valid license!

2) Some folks on this board might just learn better by seeing pictures!

Here's mine:http://184.72.239.143/mu/4b78d57c-61b1-0104.jpg

Now, I'm gonna run over a few simple, yet sometimes overlooked, points of a valid fishing license.

Notice the large numbers on the right hand side, those are the month and year you purchased it. When it gets close to that month the next year you might wanna think about renewing it.

Now, notice near the fold where it has some dates printed. The first date is the day you actually bought your license and the second date is the day it expires. This one really gets by some folks so I'm gonna ask you pay special attention to it. Hint: if it is past that second date on the calendar yo license aint valid no mo! I'll cover how to use a calendar in my next infopost!

Across the top it has Mississippi Department of Wildlife. This part tells ya if you can use it in the state you are fishing in. For example, this license would not be valid if you wanted to fish in, let's say, Michigan. This one is only good for Mississippi!

Additionally, please see the lower right corner where it says $8.00. That is the low low cost of having one of these valid Mississippi license. Would hate to think one of you gewbers might be out a lot of money over 8 bucks!

Also, want you to know that it does not come with the white paper on it. It will actually have your name and customer number in those areas. People sometimes get confused on this part as well, so I just wanted to clarify.

Lastly, if any gewber here were to ever fish, let's say an important tournament, without one of these valid licenses they should have to post a pic of their license on the board every night before they go fishing. That way we could verify to the gewber that his license was valid before they hit the lake.

If any gewber should have a question regarding the validity of their license, please feel free to ask. Remember there are no stewpit questions, just stewpit people that ask them!!! :)

Mine cost me 20 something. I get a sportsman license and don;t even hunt but I do it to support the MDWFP

Nice tip, hopefully that will help some of the newb fishermen on the board :rolleyes:

Got me to thanking just how important it is to pass along important fishing info such as this to another. Just think, if I hadn't kept this info to myself last week, just how different would the post be today? Remember everyone, sharing your wealth of fishing knowledge could change someones life. Now, please feel free to each pm me three or four of your best fishing spots:) we wouldn't want this lesson to go to waste!

Just thought I'd add to this infopost. Ifn you do have the sportsman license, like me and DD, this is what it should look like.

This one is a little more expensive, but it covers you whether you are on the water or in the woods. Notice it also has an easy to read expiration date.

Thanks Minnerman, that's what I'm talkin bout. Help these newbs and gewbs out!

That's what I'm here fer rip. Used to think another feller with all the list was a big help, but now I'm skeert to trust him.

Yeppers Minner. That cute little fox on the front. Mines good til 11-11-11. I thought tht was kinda Odd to have it expire on that date when I looked LOL

We still might be able to trust him a little. Just gonna have to pay attention to the small details he might be leavin out. You know the old sayin, spectacles, testicles, watch and wallet. Small detail would be VALID feeshing license in wallet!

Just remember DD that adder 11/11/11 you will get a ticket ifn you do not renew. But you could wait til 12/12/11 to renew and they would be good til 12/12/12. Jus don't fesh fer a month.

I dont have access to a camera, but mine's valid! Got the lifetime sportsman's license. Got it for my eighth birthday, my parents paid just over $300 for it then, its getting close to having paid for itself already.

Rofl!

Only license I need to get is my Salt water one. Since we had the oil spill last year, I didn't renew it. Got to get another one before I hit the coast for some inshore feshing. I'm itching to get down on some redfish and SPECKS lol Them Specks hit hard and pull good. Course you have to use a special bait for them. Usually a Hot Blonde or redhead will get SPECK to bite ever time LOL

Here's mine. Got it before my 16th bday. Cost $200 at the time. Has definately paid for itself. One thing I do not have to worry about in MS. I am always legal to hunt and fish, minus ducks and saltwater fish, but I dont do that stuff anyway.

Hang in there and one day you too can get one of these. They are not required, only a valid drivers license, but we need to do all we can to support the MDWFP. It's either this way, or the other way..

Here I go thanking again, but it might help some gewbs out to have a series of these infopost, such as;

How to make sure yer boat has gas in it.

How to measure fish to make sure ya won't get a ticket from Mr Greenjeans.

How to make sure yo boat plug is in.

And, if ya saw the video from the main board, how to tell a drum from an edible fish.

Feel free to post other possible helpful topics.

Might even have to sticky so all gewbs would be sure to see it!:)

I like it : Newbs and Gewbs Master Check List , also this one can go on the regular checklist, If you are fishing with a known gewb, check his license before engageing in said activity.

Where where you last Thursday, I ask?

Yes they from the eyefone.

All of the South Carolina licenses expire on 6-30,(except liftime) dosn't matter when you buy it. if you get one June 1 it expires June 30. About the middle of june they start selling next years.
Wish i had bought a lifetime 20 years ago.....
