Auto vehicle plates.

Postby Lefty » 02 12, 2018 •  [Post 1]

What got me thinking today I spotted a Vanity plate "*ELK".

In Idaho ELK plate "New plate: Cost $35
$25 is a contribution, of which $1.25 is for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s wildlife disease laboratory program, and $1.25 is designated to a livestock disease control fund. " The remainder use to go to goes to non-game"
So I quit the Idaho fish and game plate and contribute more to other groups, RMEF, DU.

Does your state have wildlife plates?
And for an added bonus anyone have a vanity plate 8-) ? My brother had one for his 69 GT. And we are planning on putting a collectors plate on my wife's 47 Willy.

Costs too much in WA and some of the fees go to wolf recovery. Barf.

Montana has "Bowhunter", "Boone & Crockett", "RMEF", and a bunch of others. I thought about getting one, but my truck is old enough to be eligible for permanent plates. If I can scrape together the cash to do that, I'm done. Unless I have a vanity plate, which is still a yearly fee. So I'm sticking with the plain vanilla plate.

no thanks.

i prefer more "stealth". i have to cross a few border checkpoints. i rather get waved by, than stopped for a truck frisk.

i'm thinking of buying a tie-dyed t-shirt and a PETA bumper sticker so i can run ammo across the border. hahah..

My truck got strip searched one time coming back into the US. They checked every trapping bait and lure bottle.

The one guard made a crack to his moron worker,.. make sure those arent human remains in the bottles ( tainted beaver meat),. And the little black bottles arent decoy bottles (skunk essence). the Newbie must have checked 30-40 bottles of bait and lure.

I run DU plates on my truck here in IA. Can’t remember how much they run, but it is extra.
