    We have it for fishing already and so far I haven't heard any complaints or heard of any abuse.
    Fishing license is prone to abuse I think because if I fill my quota I can print the license again.
    With hunting licenses I think it will work even better because you don't print anything or have to fill anything by hand.

    The system could be cheated by dishonest people already, I see this as making it easier to abuse. I could see disputes happening because the Co can't get reception to verify you did indeed buy a license. Not all of us hunt in cell reception areas!!

    I'm guessing COs will have daily downloads of the licenses issued. I guess we'll just use our PALs as ID? (assuming you don't have your BCDL or the like on you...you'll still need to have your PAL), so they'll be able to look you up.

    Sounds like we'll still have it for our species licenses. Assuming they're still done in a booklet format. Or I guess it might just be some other little slip of paper format...

    So, in effect, not a lot is changing, but I'm sure it's costing us a bunch of money...

    I wouldn't worry about cell reception actually. There are satellite phones and systems and what AgSilver said, they could download all the data onto their phones every day.
    It will probably sync with their phones all the time.
    But people are people, some will always look for ways to cheat the system.

    It's been along time coming, welcome to the new age! Certainly the CO's will have some form of communicating, sat device maybe? K

    People that are going to cheat the system aren't going to start because of this. But those who do, will continue to do so anyways.

    the fishing has been abused since day 1 online.
    when you cn print off as many papers as you want once you fill a quoita on chinook or other. thier a massive hole in that idea.
    hunting will be diff with physical tags if i recall right, have to wait for them to be mailed to us also..i see a mess right there relying on mail,
