Check out what I found...

I'm in the old fart club like AB and Ron, and was grandfathered in for hunter safety and boating. Have hunted out of state in LA and MS over the years and was not required to have the hunter safety (that I am aware of anyway ), but have heard that it is still required in some states, even if you are over the age..........anybody know if that's true? Have thought about an AR, MO or even a TX hunt, and am curious if I will need to take the course to do so.

In CA, Deltaman, if doesn't matter what age you are. They have the certificates in a data base since 1989, so you can get a copy through the DFG. However, even if you are 80 and have neither a HS Course or a previous year's license, you take the course over.

I believe CA's rule also includes 'if you have been licensed another state in the last 5 years' or something like that.

I agree. That'd be a great idea.
