Since this forum has mostly turned into a whining, crying, and bashing of organizations and individuals let me add my two cents. I am not faultless in that department, but far less than the extreme extent of some. My complaint is this: I contacted the new "better" DECALS company the day after they went on sale (August 11). It took forever to get through and when I finally got through the man was dumber than a box of rocks. I did make a purchase of a hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, along with two DMP permits. Todate all that I have received were the two DMP permits, nothing else. The beginning of last week I contacted DECALS regarding this and was told they would refer my complaint to DEC. In typical DEC efficiency todate I have not received my licenses. Consequently I can not apply for a fisher permit without a trapping license. Is this payback for my criticism of DEC's mismanagement of fisher,deer, or the closed otter seasons? On top of this the idiots billed me twice on my credit card! Modern efficiency at it's best. I know one thing; DEC better assign an ECO to follow me around this fall because I will trap with or without licenses bought and paid for and for which I have a confirmation receipt.
Disgusted in the Adirondacks!

Perhaps I am getting a bit paranoid in my old age, but in this Cuomo administration anything is possible.

I went to my town hall Tuesday. Everything went smooth, the clerk was pleasant and even wished me good luck. Got both doe tags, first time that happened. Although I did leave $117.00 lighter....

It is nice to see this forum back up and running. I finally received my trapping, hunting, and fishing licenses this week. One thing I already knew, but ignored, was the lack of efficiency within DEC. I will never, never, never deal with DECALs again.

I would never buy licenses online if over-the-counter sales are possible. Just bought everything I need at Runnings today, five minutes and no hassles involved. More time to spend on FB looking at pictures rather than wondering where those lost licenses are

I will never again buy licenses on line and I will never get on FB. I don't trust either.

I should say I would never buy a NYS license online, or anywhere else it has to be mailed to me.

Probably because they don't know that they can print it out.
