[QUOTE="utvolsfan77, post: 5655762, member: 14847"] How many of you guys are military veterans, regardless of whether you retired from the military or not? How many of you receive VA benefits? As long as you were not dishonorably discharged and you have a VA disability rating of 30% or more, you can get a Tennessee permanent disabled vet license for a little of nothing. I think it was $10 when I got mine nearly 20 years ago, but I'm sure it probably has went up a little bit since then. Having said the above, it is not quite as generous as what the annual or lifetime sportsman license is because there are a few things you still have to pay a small fee for if you want to participate such as quota hunts, WMA permits, the county-based doe permits during rifle season (Type 94), etc. Still, this disabled veteran license covers all basic fishing and hunting seasons and it NEVER EXPIRES!!! You cannot go into a local agent or regional office to get this - you have to download a form on the TWRA website, complete it, then mail it to the main office in Nashville. Once it is approved, they will mail it out to you, and it is like a credit card. Mine had become so worn from sliding around in my wallet that it was nearly unreadable, so I called Nashville last October and gave them my TWRA number. I received a replacement card in my mailbox about 4 or 5 days later! Overall, this is a heck of a deal and covers 99% of the types of fishing and hunting I have done during my 64 years on this rock. If you have buddies that are vets, please spread the word to them. Better yet, help them get this permanent license then take a disabled vet fishing or hunting with you for a day. I can promise you that they will appreciate this small act of kindness more than you will ever realize! [/QUOTE]
