Hunting License Price Increases

[isItFallYet]

Any other states increasing license costs for residents? Tennessee just announced a 25 percent increase across the board, due to a 42 percent inflation since 2015.

That’s twice in the last few years they’ve had a big jump in their pricing. I’ll just take advantage of the land owner tag unless I get drawn for something

Remembered the numbers wrong.

28% increase due to 31% inflation.

Michigan is no better. Regular prices for hunts but a huge decrease in price for doe hunts late season. Just make it all the same for c sakes

Maybe if fish and game focused on “fish & game” and cut out all the dei/green agenda/predator reintroduction bs, they could afford to pay their bills.

@isItFallYet Have you ever seen a license price decrease? Anywhere? (I actually have.....)

In Colorado, a lot of people just don’t pay them. Lots of expired plates on the road.

No, but that would be great. I definitely wouldn’t be bitching about it if that were the case.

I should have been more specific. I was talking about hunting licenses. A 28% increase in one year.

Sorry, getting late and not comprehending very well.

Yes OK increased licenses considerably this year. It was about time, hadn’t been an increase in ages and word was out that we have deer and cheap tags. I wish they’d double the nonres prices again.

Wisconsin sure could use a price increase, especially for out of state. Crazy to say . Along with fishing licenses too

Colorado decreased the prices of NR bear tags to $100 then with the stroke of a pen they bumped them right back up once they say people were actually buying them Lol

WI tags, both R and NR are cheap for sure. I’d be reluctant to say we should increase prices without looking at where or what the money is funding. If there is a surplus or it’s being wasted, then no.

Colorado raises prices for out-of-state hunters of bears and mountain lions for the second consecutive year

During its annual review of pricing for hunting licenses, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted to increase prices for out-of-state visitors to hunt mountain lions and black bears. Non-resident hunters will have to pay...

North Carolina staying steady

The CPW raises the NonRes prices every year in line with the Den/Boulder CPI

 

[isItFallYet]

I can understand increasing non-res licenses, not that I agree with that, but I was referring to resident licenses.

 

[isItFallYet]

Sportsman licenses are $171 today, next year they go up to $215.

Either get rid of some gov employees, charge common recreation users, but stop increasing the prices for hunting/fishing. IMO, this is a God given right, not a privilege.

Don't forget making us buy a small game license before buying any deer tags.
