In the paper to day they talking about using some kind of electronic device that will print out are license and tags. Sounds kinda wierd........

Check it out it was in the fresno bee, DFG is already using it...May be good maybe bad what yall think??

Whats up rifleman and bigfoot whats the chc's thoughts??We might be the test dummies down here I don't know if there any where esle yet...

Here in Idaho, our licenses and tags are electronically printed out. You pay for it, tell them what you want and you get a peice of paper like reciept, only its waterproof, it has all of your info on it.

same here in oregon. kinda a rubbery type paper. works well though and does not seem to rub off the print while its in your wallet.

Yep thats what they talked about, hmmmm...

Here is the link to the DFG website where it talks about it.

Same here in CO. Works great. You can apply for all your tags online instead of filling them all out by hand. Best part is, you cannot make a mistake on your application. It won't let you. Its fast and easy to do.

Ok so went to the DFG office today to get licenses and bear tags for my husband, best friend and myself. They look like a receipt but its like coated. Now next year all there is too it is a swipe of your DL and there is all the info.

Sounds good and bad. The good is is sounds convenient and a way for game and fish to save money. The bad is that a lot of receipts these days are bad for your health. Check this out.

And the amount receipts carry isn’t trivial.

“When people talk about polycarbonate bottles, they talk about nanogram quantities of BPA [leaching out],” Warner observes. “The average cash register receipt that's out there and uses the BPA technology will have 60 to 100 milligrams of free BPA.” By free, he explains, it’s not bound into a polymer, like the BPA in polycarbonates. It’s just the individual molecules loose and ready for uptake.

As such, he argues, when it comes to BPA in the urban environment, “the biggest exposures, in my opinion, will be these cash register receipts.” Once on the fingers, BPA can be transferred to foods. And keep in mind, he adds, some hormones — like estrogen in certain birth-control formulations — are delivered through the skin by controlled-release patches. So, he argues, estrogen mimics like BPA might similarly enter the skin.

One of the comments puts it into perspective.

The difference between the nanograms from plastic and milligrams from tapes is a factor of one million! Several million, actually since there's an other order or two of magnitude in the "60-100" mg. Plus maybe another order of magnitude more because of the loose, unbound molecules on the tape.
So the net impact could be up to 1,000,000,000X that from a plastic bottle!

Gosh darnit Grizzly, I don't know if you have read any of my post here, but I ain't the smartest thats for sure,you'll have to speak dummy terms!!!!what does all that suff you wrote mean?

Hell I don't know! I just post it so people will think i'm smart. The one thing I did learn in public schools was that small number good and really really big numbers, when it comes to poison is bad. They made a big deal about the chemical bpa in water bottles that people use, but the amount of bpa you receive from paper receipts is a billion times more, or something like that. BPA has supposedly been linked to increased female whore moans in boys or something like that.

Boy, things have really changed since I was in school! I thought that BPA meant Business Professionals of America.

I hope you meant horomones!

"Whore moans" was all I thought about when I was a teen age boy!

Hi radar,

Yep, they are rolling out ALDS in some offices already. My license and tags (bought at the Nimbus office) are in the receipt form. It was admittedly straightforward on my part...I just swiped my driver's license and everything printed out just fine.

I keep my tags in my glove box (I am testing their resistance to heat) and put them in my wallet with my license as appropriate.

I'm looking forward to the ability to print my licenses and tags from the comfort of my own home. With our license and tag purchases being "plugged in" and accessible in the hills and woods, I also see some good opportunities to influence the prima facie evidentiary standard to our benefit.
