1st time in many many years. Don't remember the small game license thing, just the habitat stamp.

Two other licenses? I thought you only needed one qualifying license to apply.

It’s just one license and then the habitat stamp for $10. Total for a PP was $106

Ya you can thank the parks side of it for bleeding wildlife dry, it sucks but I’m still thankful for the out of staters they support our wildlife!

I did the same last year but I also got my mule deer tag so I wasn't complaining. If the qualifying license weeds people out, so be it. It's worth it to me.

the small game is only needed for the draw, if you go over the counter you dont need small game just the habitat stamp.

My oldest daughter finally had enough points to draw her elk tag, and then she went and graduated college and got a job out of state. Now she's got several more years to get enough points for the same tag. SMH

Does this also apply to a draw tag?

This is a common misconception. By statute, hunting dollars stay in the wildlife divisions coffers, and park funding is maintained by parks revenue.

You can look at it as it cost $106 to buy one preference point. . . As my buddy did for awhile. Or you look at it like I do, once you buy the license and stamp it's only $10 per species for points on elk, deer, antelope, and bears! So you might as well help accelerate point creep and buy points for everything! It's really a cost averaging approach! I'm not sure where I'm gonna use my 4 bear preference points, but let me tell you, when I want that bear tag I'm gonna have it!
