Although it was easier to remember when it was the first of the year.
I preferred the January 1 to January 1 era of licensing. I used to get my next years license in my stocking every year from my wife or my son.
When it was changed to a 365 day license the sportsman lost all power over the department. When licenses are renewed on one particular day of the year a resistance to buy those licenses in a timely manner due to disputes can severely affect budgets. The sportsman, if organized have the power to influence policy much more when they control the purse.
