I was selling FW licenses for about 6 years. He stopped when the state printed all the fees wrong on the back of the licenses. The fees printed on the back of the licenses were the same as the previous years. It seems that the state upped the fees with out letting us know. We charged what it said on the back of the license. At the end of the month April our busiest we had a shortfall in our account. The state said that it was not their fault they printed the fees wrong and we should have charged the updated fees. We had to pay the short fall otherwise they were going to keep our $6,000 bond that we put up for the licenses. We paid the shortfall and told them to FO we were done doing their job for free. We dropped all the licenses off at the Fish & Game made them sign for everything, which they did not want to do. Well you guessed it they lost the Boxes of licenses and refused to relese our bond even thou we had them sign for them. They found the licenses 4 months lated in the attic of ther building and released the bond.
At this point no one from the state has contacted us about selling the SW licenses. Last year we were one of only 3 shops in the state providing them . The state still has not worked out the details for 3rd party vendors.
