If you were to gather data on when most annual fishing licenses were purchased I would guess that a fair majority of them were purchased in January. Using myself as an example, my license expires 12/31 so unless I decide to fish on Monday 1/1/18 I will likely purchase my license during the last week of December 2017. If I follow that same principal I will likely be buying my 2019 fishing license the second to last week or 2018, 3rd to last week of 2019 for 2020, 2nd week of December 2020 for 2021 and the 1st week of December 2020 for 2021. In essence, it will take several years of me purchasing a license before I see any benefit to it.
