Can I use my food stamp card as a fishing license and hunting license?
That’s a great question, Charlie! I’ve reached out to the state to clarify this. I’m waiting for a reply and I’ll let you know what I find out! 🙂
Hello again, Charlie. Here’s what I received from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency: “We do not have any discounted licenses for EBT recipients and if they want to hunt/ fish then they will need a license. The basic hunting and fishing license for the year is $34.” I’m sorry it wasn’t better news!
