Applicants may apply for those licenses in addition to a combination license if desired. Individuals who currently hold both senior lifetime hunting and lifetime furtaker licenses will be automatically upgraded at no cost. Individuals who receive automatic upgrades will be sent in late June new ID cards that have a combo license designation. Lifetime licenses will continue to be issued through only PGC offices. New lifetime license holders and those upgrading to a combination will receive a new ID card the following June, prior to the beginning of the next license year.
Yearly renewals are available through any in-state issuing agent.
The difference is that senior lifetime combination license holders are required to carry their ID card with them at all times while hunting or trapping. A combination license holder's general hunting license back tag and yearly renewal stamp also covers the individual for furtaking - a separate furtaker back tag will not be issued. Individuals who hold only a senior lifetime furtaker license will continue to receive a yearly renewal directly from the License Division.
