1) We all know we are taking all the data and paying for the privilege to do the research they tried to do last year but failed miserably.
2) Price on the card is $7.90. I paid $7.50 at the DFG office and I hear some tackle shops are charging $8.50.
3) the thing is made out of that same crappy paper your license is. Good luck writing on with wet hands and not having the ink run.
4) For those with failing eye sight, by a magnifying glass so you can read all the codes on the back and enter then in the 1/4" squares on the front.
5) And the best for last. They write your fishing license number on the card when you buy it. Guess what happens on December 31 when your license exspires? So does your card! Break out another $7.50 for the second half of the season. I supose you could use it for the first half of the next season if you don't lose it over the summer.
