Looks like a great program. Here's another page that spells out the requirements.

If I understand this the right way if I submit a letter showing myself as a combat wounded vet I can get a non resident tag for the cost shown?

You'll need the VA letter, if you login into the VA website it will be under letters.

If you have not set up your VA website, or don't want to just visit the VA, DAV, VFW or Order of the Purple Heart and they will help you get a copy.

Nice job Idaho! Just wish more states would do something like that.

I wish they would to, I would think Texas would do something like that.

It is the most pro veteran state out there.

Then again for what a non-resident Texas hunting license cost, you can send a lot of bullets down range down there.

Sweet. I got a 40% rating when I retired so I'm eligible. Good to know if I decide to hunt elk or deer outside my native CO.

Good for Idaho!

Wish all states were that classy.

Idaho must be fairly well funded to do this. Maybe it isn't well utilized.

New Mexico has a good program for people who are disabled. Not necessarily Veterans, but quite a few are.

I don't know about well funded, but they realize it is the right thing to do for people who sacrificed for their country...

that and they make it up writing tickets

The Sportsman License is free to DAV in the state of Texas, resident or non-resident. You just have to show your VA letter.

what's the percentage rate for the Texas license?

Not sure but I think it is 60%.

It is 60%

Thank you for posting that on Texas, it is by far the kindest state to Disabled Veterans!
