I agree about not wanting to keep a sticker permanently on my car. I fish
sometimes from my sports coupe and don't really want a bright yellow sticker
sitting on it all the time. So basically I avoid ever going to sticker
required access areas with that vehicle.
The Sno-Park solution is the one I like best, you buy a vinyl detachable
"sticker" that you can register two cars on and then you can move it between
cars or remove it totally when you aren't using it. I really wish the DFW
would go with a system more like this.

This is what the statute says:
(2) The decal must be affixed in a permanent manner to the motor vehicle
before entering upon or using the motor vehicle on a department improved
access facility, and must be displayed on the rear window of the motor
vehicle, or, if the motor vehicle does not have a rear window, on the rear
of the motor vehicle.
Before, I had always just had the decal in a plastic sleeve that was
attached to my window. I would slide it in when I used one of their areas
and would then remove it when I was not. I have never been checked and, if
this method was a problem, then I was never checked in one of the required
areas when I was not in my vehicle, because I never had a warning or
citation left on the car. Personally, I really do not like stickers or
decals on my vehicle anywhere for any reason. If someone is looking to steal
fishing equipment, I am sure they look for the cars with the decals (but not
in the WDFW areas, because the equipment is with the owner). I am
disappointed that the statute would be so written to not respect someone's
desire for privacy even when they have fully complied with the purpose of
the law, the collection of a fee and display of valid evidence of payment.
Where is the legitimacy in distinguishing how many cars a person owns and
uses to go fishing in, presumably they use one at a time; and if they did
not, they would then have to get another sticker. The impact is the number
of cars using the area. Not which car. So why impact those with more than
one car disproportionately to their impact on the service offered?
This is not a fishing story, its a sea story. So, "This ain't no . . .." (v.
"Once upon a time"). In a mighty ship a sea, someone wrote on the chaplain's
door, in grease pencil on the Plexiglas provided for that purpose, "The
absurdity of the situation is only exceeded by the reaction to it". True to
the graffiti, "they" removed and preserved the message board, and made
everyone (over 600 crew) write at least some of the statement on Plexiglas
in grease pencil for the ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence (go figure)) to
compare with the original. -- Anyway, the story goes on, but I can see the
relationship if someone has an issue with the removable tape.
Tight Lines,
Steve

I received two stickers, one with fishing license, one with hunting license.

Attach the sticker to the windscreen or rear window with removable tape;
that
way you can switch it to different vehicles you own
