I'm not explicitly talking about LEH, but looking ahead to when the whole Hunting licensing system goes digital.
At sportsman's show this year the woman at the LEH licensing both told me that they are going this way to prevent fraud. When I asked about the big loophole in the now-online fishing licenses, being that you can reprint as many as you like, making your catch quota basically 'boyscout's honour,' she just shrugged her shoulders and had no answer. I know that technically you can achieve the same dirty end by claiming a license stolen or lost... but why invite the problem??
Am I missing something? Are there actual benefits to A) hunters and B) wildlife for the system to go online, or does it just save us a trip to walmart, and make a bunch of bureaucratic tech jobs in Victoria?
The only benefit I've found with my online fishing licenses is that I can keep a spare in my car in case I lose or forget one.
