Just read an article that Wisconsin has gone to paperless licenses and gotten rid of back tags. I for one can't wait for NYS to catch up in 20 years. I hunt nearly everyday all year round and remembering to change that back tag over is so annoying. Plus my wallet would be so much thinner not having to carry my license around everywhere.
Most of the time I don't even have my back tag on and I've never had anyone even notice. And I get stopped probably more than anyone you know because I often hunt within a mile of a village. Last year I went to put my tag in the holder so I could hunt Letchworth state park and realized the tag in there was 3 years old.
