Dear Shirley:

Regarding the last two questions at the end of your post:

1.Are hunting licenses state-transferable? Your hunting training certificates are transferable. Hunting licenses are state to state. You buy a license in each state you want to hunt in. For example, a valid hunting license in NJ, you can present it in WA State and buy an out of state license in WA and be legal to hunt.

2. what happens if you come back from camping in the wilderness and your hunting license is already expired (nj licenses are valid until december) such as if you spend 3 years camping and hunting?

You must renew your licenses before they expire, for the next season. But remember, there are different licenses: Big Game (deer, elk, bear, moose), Small Game (rabbit, squirrels) and then special licenses for migratory birds, ducks and geese. It is very important that you understand Game Laws before you hunt.

I’ll write more later by tomorrow morning, in 10 hours or so.
