First I heard you can’t buy a WMA license at 65. Edited: Dumb question have you tried to buy a WMA permit online or at a store?

So, they say you don't need a WMA permit to hunt due to your age. But they require you to have a WMA permit in order to register for a "random" draw hunt (that you probably won't be drawn for at least for 3-4 years).
Sounds about right.

I think what your going to need is a game check help number. They are free. I’m also 65 and had to get one to register for the Sandhill crane hunt.

OK folks, I just "purchased" a free Game Check HELP number. Now for the fun of re-registering scrolling back & forth the 15 pages of hunts. Will let ya'll know how it goes. You can just search for the ones you want

Crap. So I wonder if you really need to buy the WMA license to register or can u use the HELP number. I already bought the Wma licenses so it’s a moot point but for future reference it would be good to know. It would save me about $45 for the wife and myself.

If you are younger than 65 you MUST buy a management area license.

I already bought the Wma licenses so it’s a moot point but for future reference it would be good to know. It would save me about $45 for the wife and myself. The commissioner has been warned before that Section 65 of our state constitution forbids lotteries for any purpose. He used to require participants to pay registration fees in advance for his alligator lottery. Having to pay anything in advance to be allowed to participate and then standing a chance of losing it and not being one of the chosen few to participate in a hunt would meet the definition of a lottery. The commissioner's lawyer, Charlanna Skaggs, is experienced in defending illegal gambling operations. That may be one reason why she was chosen to represent the commissioner.

Howdy. But as long as Sykes is helping pay the bills here, it won't last long at all. They don't want to hear the truth about their shenanigans. Censorship will prevail. Are you in cahoots with them too?

If you are younger than 65 you MUST buy a management area license. Snuffy, they key words in the currently published "proposed" rule are " successful applicants". Successful applicants are required to have those licenses, not the losers. Otherwise, the process would violate Section 65 of our state constitution. The current amended version of the wma rule since extensive changes were made this year remains unpublished in violation of the law. The version of the rule available on the commissioner's website is obsolelte.

I brought that up to my representative when the SOA's first came out...pretty much got laughed at...I read an article one time where a guy sued the Georgia DNR over the alligator Tag "Lottery" and won the case. I wish we could win something like that here and all SOA's would become actual public land
