No more going to the checkin station in Maryland

Hawkeye,

I was assuming that computers would be able to match up the ones reported easily by using the hunter safety numbers on both licenses which would be present on the prior year's license and the current year's license. That might be able to give a better account.

Of course, I didn't stop to think that other states might not have a mandatory hunter's safety course for all those people that did not hunt on private property before 1975. Then again, the hunter safety number wouldn't be any good for those people that can sign the waiver.

Come to think of it, Maryland uses a person's driver's license number on the hunting license too. However, I guess there are people out there that do not have a driver's license. I know ID cards come in the same manner as a driver's license, but I'm not sure if a state ID is required to get a hunting license.

I guess we would need a think tank to figure this all out.
