From the info on the DEC site that Hartattack posted above, and my experience as a former NY license issuing agent, I am inclined to say mistake.. my guess is that being as the license year for ALL other NY sporting licenses have always run from Oct 1-Sept 31 the DECALS issuing system ( which is a long way from perfect), prints those dates as part of the hard coded "header" for everything still ... The fact that they decided this one license will run from Jan 1st, and are making us take another bite of the turd sandwich if we wanna fish this fall... not even a pro-rated price for a 1/3 season..is just an obvious cash grab, and A real sleazy move IMO..
I refused to buy it.. Its not about the $.. (they already wacked me $98 for my hunting/freshwater licenses... up from 68 last year ) just my little way to protest..I mean, c'mon already... In an era of rediculous regs , NY is really outdoing itself... I'll stick to the Jersey side for the remainder of my saltwater fishing this fall, and send the extra $10.00 to RFA..
