Just curious as to how you carry your hunting license - other than "in your pocket".
For years I've put mine in a couple baggies, roll them around the arm of my quiver then tape in place.

I've always carried mine in an inside zippered pocket in my backpack.

Top pocket of my pack in a ziploc baggie, thinking about switching it to my bino harness because I often change packs and have forgotten it in the past, talk about angry, getting a mile into good elk country and having to turn back to grab it.

I carry licenses in one of the plastic sleeves they give us at the counter then put that in a small compression sack that I consider my kill bag. The kill bag is stored in my backpack. It contains, licenses, knives, sharpener, and parachute cord.

In Montana you almost need a backpack to carry everything.

Pretty sure most states require you carry your license on your person while hunting, in CO I believe you need proof of hunters education as well unless exempt. I carry it all with my wallet in a ziplock in my pack or jacket.

Jordanathome If your license says Verified on it you don't have to carry your hunters ed card.

You know folks are bored and running out of things to do/say when we get this topic. LOL! Thanks Cnelk. I got my hunters ed in MO as a kid so I don't know if CO ever considered me verified or not.....will have to look at my license.....good to know.

I carry a folder with regulations on me or in my vehicle for every State/Province I hunt and get familiar with basic regulations like tagging, transport and carrying your license.
For example in Colorado they will sell you a license online if you say you have Hunter Ed but as cnelk mentioned unless your license says "verified" your not legal unless you carry proof of hunter ed while in the field. EVERY state/province is different and I like being prepared. Conservation Officers quickly realize if you have your stuff in order or not and when prepared you will not have trouble. Good luck all!

Small game fishing combo in my wallet. Turkey and large game in my possibles bag or daypack. I carry a fine point sharpie and a few zip ties also. In Colorado, you have to take your Hunter Ed card to the CPW office to get verified. That may have changed.

I rarely carry mine. I leave it in the truck or at the house. I have never had an issue with an encon officer or Conservation officer having an issue with that. On a pack hunt I carry mine in my kill kit in a plastic sleeve sealed inside a baggie. Shawn
