Senior Hunting License

[patvogt02]

I purchased my Resident Hunting license in June along with my Anterless license etc. as they became available. At the time, I was 64 years old. The beginning of September I turned 65. My question is, in the upcoming Jr/Sr. early antlerless season, am I allowed to carry a rifle as a senior or do I still fall under the Adult Resident guidelines?

By any chance do you know exactly what the language in the regs says?

If you turn 65 during the license year (and you do) you are eligible to buy your lifetime license. Did you do so? I would contact the game commission to see what you can do.

I would say probably not unless you have a senior license, but I'm no expert. You should have bought a senior license.

The regulations state "Also included are persons who have reached or will reach their 65th birthday in the year of the application for a license and hold a valid adult license, or qualify for license and fee exemptions under section 2706".

I contacted GC headquarters and South Central Regional office on this issue and received two different answers. I think you are good to go.

Kingb-44.,

Thanks for taking the time to research this and making a call. I did finally find this explanation after I read your reply.

I thought for sure somebody would of been down this road already and could answer without hesitation.

Thank again.
