This old license is in good condition. It has some corner wrinkles, slight edge fraying, and a center fold. It is richly colored and easy to read.
This license endured some field action, probably in Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula. It is a great collectible for display. It was unlawful to hunt without wearing this identification tag on the back. The license would have been issued by the Department of Conservation. Hunters followed the Game Law Digest. A nonresident deer license would have been issued separately.
Shipped bagged and double boarded in a stiff mailer.
