I can get a lifetime fishing license for $50. I figure I get my money back in 4 years so it really seems like a good deal. However, they say it takes 4-6 weeks to process. Meanwhile, I can't find out if a copy of the application will serve as license while you are waiting. The reply I got back from dgif was sort of canned and didn't answer my question about it. Anyone have any more info on this?
