You're right. I bought a fishing license each of the last two years and did one day last and nothing so far this. In WA. In the future I will probably buy a one day for the days I decide to go. The Old Fart FW license, which is what I get, is damn cheap, though.

I have bought hunting licenses the last few years and made little use of them. What I probably will do is not buy a license, if I do, until a trip is actually scheduled. With family issues and illnesses and such planning is tough. Plus, I have found some out of state hunts for a variety of species , especially exotics, that are more interesting.

But you're right, time to put up or shut up.
