Perhaps the number was recorded (along with the name, etc, of the person paying the fee) for inventory purposes and, yes, at that point the number might not have mattered anymore.
A search might tell you if the number was simply printed on the wrong side

A lot of states require special permits for certain fish species. In Missouri, trout is one of them. As stated, I'd say the number was likely registered and once affixed could be traced to the license holder from there.

Yeah, I agree Michael. The person sold you the stamp at the tackle shop and wrote down your name and stamp number in the book. You slapped it on the license and then started looking for few elk hair caddis dry flies and your favorite Orvis bamboo rod.

Which side has gum on it? Could this go on a boat windshield (on glass) and be visible from both sides like a car inspection sticker?

WB and ernie are both correct.
And ikey is correct in stating the number didn't matter once it was sold and put on the license.
The gum was on the number side.
Many states had these for different species. You had to pay a premium over and above the cost of the basic fishing license to legally catch these species; trout, walleye, etc.....
This particular one, however, IS the actual license, even though its a stamp.
Most of these can be found in Wooton's "Streamside Catalog of Fish and Game Stamps"
This one from California is the first issue of its kind; catalog value is $12.00 mint / $5.00 used.
The last one issued of this kind was in 1971; they changed styles from 1972 on.

Has anybody ever seen one of these? It looks like some sort of an endorsement that would have been added to a fishing license but why would the number be on the back? I guess if it was affixed to a card there would be no need to see the number.
