How much do you pay for your license?

[Mr.Magoo]

Just curious.  How much do you pay in your state for your license(s) and what are your limits?

I just renewed my NC license and it was $55 for our "Sportsman's" license with coastal fishing.  So that's small game, inland fishing, trout, game lands, coastal fishing and big game (2 bucks, 2 does, 2 hunters choice deer, 2 wild boar, 1 bear, 2 turkey).

small game 17.54 (grouse 5 in posession, pheasant 2 in posession)free for 65 and over

deer 28.33     free 65 and over(1 deer and one antlerless dear in special zone)

Bear 28.98 (one)
Rabbit - requires base wildlife stamp (no limit)

Count'em.. 98 BIG ONES in New York for a "Sportman's License". Includes Big Game (Rifle/Shotgun, Bow & Muzzleloader), Small Game, 3 deer tags, plus two antlerless tags (that you apply for but may not get), 4 Turkey tags 2 Gobbler (Spring) / 2 either Sex (Fall), a Bear Tag and Freshwater Fishing License. Saltwater License effective 01/01/2010 is another 10 bucks. It's been 7 to 8 years since the last license increase, so it is desperately needed; in Conservation & Wildlife. Problem is the increases are NOT going into the Conservation and Wildlife programs. The money is going to the State's General Fund - which is just simply wrong.

$34 for Sportsman Licence, takes care of all game with archery and primative weapons.<>< del

[bigbuckmalik]

I have $62.50 in PA license. 1 buck, 2 does, and small game.

[pronghorn23]

I just paid $68 for the following:
Sportsman License-Hunting/Fishing
Habitat Stamp
State Waterfowl Stamp
Archery tags-1 antlerless, 1 either sex

I was told by the vendor that next year the price is going to double on all licences. I don't mind paying more but in this state I'm sure it's not going to what it's intended for.

[longbowben]

I know that 570 dollar elk license that i ate last year still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[ron w]

Like was said above...New York sportsman 98.00. With the money not being used properly and little or poor game and land management. Its really a shame from what it used to be. But I'll play till I can leave the state, which I hope will be in the next few years.

$76 for 4 does, 2 bucks,4 turkeys, and bear tag plus small game in Va. Well worth it.

Mississippi limit is 3 bucks with 10" or 12" inside spread or 13" or 15" beam length, depending on which zone you're in, and 5 does. Trying to keep from killing any 1 1/2 year bucks.

[Don Thomas]

None of us is rich, but what we have to realize is that those dollars allow us to do things only nobility can do in most nations. Let's not complain too loud until we take stock of what we've got. Don

[Don Stokes]

Good point, Don. I don't complain- we have it great here, at any cost!

I bought an Indiana "lifetime license" in 1986-7 for 360 bucks that covers all turkey and deer tags and small game licenses till I die.

Even if I move.

That's correct. I haven't had to buy a deer tag for over 20 years.

My 15 minutes of fame for realizing where this all was going and saying heck with it I'm buying one.

Licenses increased by 40 percent 3 months after I bought it and have went up 240 percent since.

Limits for this year is 2 reg archery, one firearm and one muzzleloader plus 8 "bonus county" deer for this county.

Each county has it's own bonus county limit. No limit on the TOTAL of "bonus county anterless tags" per hunter statewide, if you have places to hunt in different counties.

One buck......period. I believe that this is the 7th year of the "one buck per hunter per year, any weapon" and it is starting to pay off in an increase of mature bucks being more commonly seen and taken.

Hope all have a great season! I have hopes of one.

[vtmtnman]

Combination hunting/fishing(One buck tag,one Bear tag,small game and all fishing)-32
Archery tag(One doe and one buck)-17
Muzzleloader tag(One buck)-17
Turkey tag(Two spring gobblers and fall either sex bird)-17

Moose permit lottery-10 to enter, 100 if you get drawn

Antlerless lottery for smokepole season-10 to enter for one doe tag(should count as a fourth deer because it's an extra tag that's not guaranteed to you OTC,but it counts towards your yearly limit of 3 deer even though you have to buy a muzzloader buck tag to be able to use it...but then the state would get less money and we can't have that...   :rolleyes:      :rolleyes:

I have a lifetime Georgia license. I THINK it was $500. The only problem with it is you feel like you're getting something for nothing after awhile. I know that's ok with some guys, but it bothers me.
As long as the monies go where they're SUPPOSED to go, I'll pay whatever they ask as I buy several out of state licenses every year. And how can you put a price on what I enjoy every year??

[John3]

$19.00 Archery 2 deer/2 turkey either sex.
$7.00 (unlimited quantity) archery antlerless deer.
$10.00 small game.
$12.00 fishing permit.

Plus any out of state tags I buy every year. Which on my two trips to Kansas were $630.00 per tag for non resident archery deer...!

We have it good in Missouri.

Here's a goody, CT has just doubled all fees and licenses. It will now cost a resident of CT just shy of $300.00 to buy hunting fishing combos with all tags. I think It's time to move. That's not counting everything else, drivers, builders, emisions, etc, it's nuts!!

[maineac]

38 for hunt fish combo, which gives you one deer and small game
21 for archery tag, one der, which negates your deer tag on the regular (rifle) tag.  12 for expanded zone area doe tag, 35 for expanded zone buck tag
20 spring turkey, 1 tom
10 for fall turkey, 1 either sex,
27 for a bear tag
fee for moose lottery application, extra if drawn
