 You can now go to the Ohio DNR website and get the new liscense for 2015-2016. I also tried this last week and could not do it at that time.
Just print out multiple copies and put in each vehicle and also take a pic on your phone so you always have just in case.
Stay warm and safe

That's news to me. Have always been able to buy them early before my current license expired. Will have to check into it.

Good looking out.  I would have thought of it last minute.  Thank goodness for home computers and printers.

I just printed mine out about 10 min ago. I needed it for Erie this weekend. Also remember the walleye limit drops from 6 to 4 Sunday.

I tried that last year at wal-fart. They said it could only be done one week prior to march 1. Whatever. Used to be could buy a month early in stores. Now I just buy it online and save the hassle.

tried to get my licens for several weeks now. Finaly I called DNR and they said we could buy after 22nd of February. I also asked when they were going to post 2015 Trout stocking. she emailed the date for 2015 to me.  They then postedd the new dates on there Web Sight, but they ha the heading for trout stocking 2014. the Dates are for 2015 though

holehopper, I did the same and called Dick Sporting goods in Findlay , they gave me the same answer , " Oh you can buy them March 1st" I kindly replied to the young lady on the phone, " do you realize that our current license expire Saturday the 28th  so now I have to come to your store Sunday  March 1st and wait in line with all other ice fisherman so we can go out that day."  I got a quick , Oh let me talk to the manager". Literally 15 minutes of being on hold I hung up with no reply from Dicks at Findlay..... somebody in the chain has their wires crossed as to when they should go on sale.  I got mine up the road at the ODMV ....lord knows you can only buy a license in Indian Lake region at 2 places, park office and the hardware store.
