Paid for my life time license a few years back.
Figures the state will make them free now.

If they are not already 65 those folks are close. I am a young Vietnam Vet and I am 65.Mr. MudDucker---Was Vietnam and Korea "War's" ?
Just respectfully asking for your opinion.

^^^This^^^Yeah, and serving in the military cost many their lives, limbs, health, marriages, and more. The country and every one of us who live in it owes them for our liberty to hunt and fish, a free license is the least they could do.
If the State would keep it's grubby hands out of the General Funds allocated for hunting and fishing management it wouldn't be an issue in this State.I'm not arguing for or against the bill.
But it is going to cost the DNR revenue.
I was in Vietnam from November 66 thru November 67 and was on active duty in the United States Navy for 3 years, 9 months, and 11 days. I made E-5 in about 2.5 years and turned down an offer to go to Officer Candidate School.
Mr. MudDucker indicated that my service would not qualify. Okay-fine.....and his advice would be only those in a War Theater would qualify.
Well-Vietnam and Korea were not declared war's-as are many of the things we have been involved in more recently.
Each time we took fire in Vietnam and each time a Soviet Ship came alongside after Vietnam-my life and the life of all those around me were certainly at risk.....
To be excluded would be ludicrous-I was respectfully seeking some comment from Mr. MudDucker who is a moderator.
I am soon to be 71 years old and have had a free license now for several years.
I did not ask for it-but I am not going to turn down something free that is of any usefulness or is to my advantage to accept it.
In my opinion-it is ridiculous to offer free hunting licenses to anyone-regardless of their circumstance or what they have done to "Earn It".
But.....as I stated....I won't turn it down whenffered !
Politics is an amazing thing !
First off. Thank you for your service! I was in Nam in 1971 until late 1972. I also spent 2 years in the Second Infantry division on the Korean DMZ before I ever made it to Vietnam. I also spent time in Panama and Grenada. My only point was that most of the Vietnam Vets and Korea Vets are past the age where they need a Free License.I was in Vietnam from November 66 thru November 67 and was on active duty in the United States Navy for 3 years, 9 months, and 11 days. I made E-5 in about 2.5 years and turned down an offer to go to Officer Candidate School.

One quick question: How does issuing free licenses affect the state getting Federal excise tax monies?

Really tired of veterans always begging for all the regular normal people to pick up there slack. Pay your 50$ like everyone else. You already got free college on the taxpayer nickel.
