Title: $10 fee for Hunter Report
Post by: fishnate on May 17, 2013, 12:07:37 PM: So I bought my licence the other day and I was charged the $10 fee for not submitting my hunter report. It shows my quality bull report but not deer or bear. I know i did it all. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else. I guess I will start writing my confirmation numbers down from now on. :bash:

I do a similar thing. I put them in the gun safe till I get the new ones.

I did them online. I called the dept and without a confirmation number there is nothing they can do.

Post by: sirfunkeybut on May 17, 2013, 01:28:31 PM: it happened to me once but the dwfw called me and said their computers had crashed and lost a bunch of reports, so in the end they mailed me a check for reimbursement.

Post by: fireweed on June 04, 2013, 08:27:51 AM: Tried to get my son a new Catch card (free) and they wanted to charge me $10 at the store because of the crab fee. I KNOW I turned in all catch record cards in one envelope on time. Said "no thanks" I'm complaining.
Went home, tried to get the CRC on the net, and no fee showed up.

I got nailed for the crab fee as well. Thought about walking away on principle, but I love crab.
