RE: Michigan Lisences Going up to $75!?
For a non-resident to hunt Michigan next year will be $ 330 and $ 100 for a small game license . For a non-resident to hunt Ohio is $ 173 which covers small game and two deer tags. In Ohio only one can be a buck but you can fill both tags with does with gun or bow. I have hunted northern Michigan for the past 11 years and I have really enjoyed it . But to fill my tags with spikes and 3 points doesn't do it for that kind of money . I usually hunt a week of bow season and maybe 5 days at gun season . With the two trips I usually spend $ 700 to $ 800 in the local economy. I know of a group that have been hunting the first week of bow season up there for years and this year only 3 of the 15 hunters bought deer tags the rest bought small game license . They spend a lot of money in the local economy. Camping fees , gas , groceries etc. For that kind of priceincrease I will probably hunthere in Ohio and use the extra money for something else. By the way I spent over $ 1000 in license fees for my wife and myself this past year .Taht was both hunting and fishing license in other states .If a non-resident is lucky enough to ever get draw for a Michigan bear license they would have topay $ 300 for a license . In Ontario it is about $175 over the counter . Thanks Michigan for the memories.

I think you guys should consider yourselves fortunate to have been able to take multiple deer for $30 in the past.
I pay $36 every year to only get one tag.
I'd pay $75 if I were allowed two deer a year.

Freedom is coughing up blood!
What's the difference between a hunter and his game and Homer Simpson and a donut?

They better take that additional money and spend all of it on more CO's to catch all the new poachers they just created.......
