Special hunting and fishing license for disabled veterans.  Allows a veteran who is permanently disabled due to a service-connected disability to purchase a discounted, combined hunting and freshwater fishing lifetime license and further provides him with the option to purchase either a hunting or a fishing license. The license fee for a person to only hunt or fish will be lower than that of the combined license.
