This seems to be the most effective way of getting out of anything one can do wrong. Congratulations on your foresight to avoid all things that require legal documentation to be involved in, thereby avoiding both license fees and any penalties involved with not having a license. I would suggest that one of your learned phrases be that not only do you only speak Spanish, but that you can't read Spanish or English. That should pretty much cover all of the bases.
I, like some others, will be buying my licenses as I need them and will weigh the need to buy them as the time approaches.

Boy oh boy ed. Your something else man.Well your broski nateski is right behind you with his plumbing skills.
Encon I hope you nab every single guy who doesnt have a licence. I think you should post every single name someplace. Make it known.
Encon just a thought. This might help a little any chance of having to have the licence visable on a hat or clothes? Might help out some Key word some.

Not buying a license is NOT the answer. . . . . . . but paying too much for one is NOT the correct response either
I cut out the following = $112 state land shotgun state land muzzleloader small game private land gun (unless I have a good opportunity...which has never happened, yet is a theoretically possibility)
I'm getting my SW license but not until the day I need it.
And to best honest - IMHO all the stuff about speaking spanish to beat the rap is just not that cool, it takes away from the overall quality of the site and probably discourages others from posting on the thread started by Encon.

I have no problem with a license if it goes to pay for something that benifits the fishing but if it's because the state is in financial trouble and it's just going to the general fund isn't this more of a taxation w/out representation issue?? I think this state is out of control with ALL of it's license fees including occupational licenses!!
I bought my saltwater license today. I would have waited until the last minute, but I am betting these jackals will raise the fee before the season starts. It really pisses me off that its going to the general fund to support welfare programs, but I can't take time off to fight this in court. It is taxation without representation. When the revolution starts, I will be there.

I took a night class in 1996 on economic. The professor was raving mad about fees! He said if they dont get you in a tax they will nail you in a fee! "The hidden tax".
10 bucks for a saltwater license is bearable. You cant start a boat without dropping 10 bucks so in the grand scheme of things who cares. Keep fuel prices down so I can drive my truck to the boat and afford to run a boat once I get there!
