If you are serving in an active or reserve component and are getting outpatient medical treatment or therapy while recovering from a serious service-connected injury or illness, you can buy a reduced fee sport fishing license for $10.54 or a hunting license for $9.79.
Prequalify first by sending your documentation to the Department of Fish and Wildlife: upload it through the online license sales site, mail it to a license sales office, fax it to 916-419-7585, or request a secure upload by emailing LRB@wildlife.ca.gov. Then buy the license online, at a license sales office or from a license agent.
A letter from your commanding officer or a military medical doctor verifying your eligibility, your driver license, your GO ID number, a phone number, and proof of hunter education for a hunting license.
