According to TWRA officer Doug Markham, I can buy a new 2013 senior license, now that I am 65 years old, and that I no longer have to pay the daily fee at TWRA lakes that charge a daily fee. One benefit of making it to old age, huh?

I have had my senior license for 6 years and it is nice. I did not know that being a vet would get it free. I only had to pay $15 for the one time fee for the rest of my living years,which I hope will be a few more.Great deal to us older folks.

I went to Academy Sports and Dick's today. Both stores went by the 2013 fishing guide and (I looked through it also) there is nothing about veterans getting free licenses.

I did a search of the online edition, using "veteran/s and only came up with disabled (VA 30%) vets getting their fishing licenses for $10.00.

So, I guess it's $11.00, a one time fee, and then I won't have to buy all the special permits needed to fish most of the lakes in the system. AND, no more trout stamps!! YAY!!

And tk, it's DD 214......

At least there is something good about getting older.

Interesting... I have a VA ID, but I'm considered 10% Medical Disabilty. Good to know though.

Dakota, I have a 10% VA disability also.

I'll be satisfied with no more fishing license purchases AND no more trout stamps along with no more lake access fees since I like
e to fish Marrebone a few times each year to stock up on the wife's trouts.
