I think I have a grasp of what you are saying. If the person has a lifetime license and also gets a H.E.L.P. Number the Gamecheck program should put the 2 together.
Along that line... Director Sykes also talked of a unique Conservation ID number that would be assigned to each hunter. This will likely not come about until next year, but it will be much like a drivers license number, but for hunters. It would be a unique 6 digit number for each hunter that would follow that person for their lifetime. This number would make GameCheck easier and make finding the number of hunters in the state easier.
