That waas what I was going to mention during Clintons adm. They actually took the funds and gave some of it to anti hunting groups.

The tax money comes from us too. He doesn't cut state budgets, he reduces federal money coming to the states.All of this money comes from tax payers.

Which of the dems do you think will give more money to your States DEC?

Clinton closed many area's completely no hunting allowed. Wouldn't let any type of logging go on. Which actually helps the animal populations by thinning the forest canopy. So nature took care of it the way it has for 1,000's of years by burning. Ask the guys who tried putting out the fires if Clintons policies helped them in their jobs. Sorry to go off topic.

Isn't this the second year in a row they've done this? I think they raised them last year. I'm not trying to complain, I actually think lowering the youth licenses may get more youth into the hunting tradition.

[8D] $250 for 6 or 7 days. Ouch. Maybe we can hook up next yr. when you're heading north. Joe and me would consider it an honor to hunt with the butt hangin arrow slinger. We shall be in them Dacks!!! Jim

When it gets right down to it, most states hunting and fishing licenses are a pretty good deal. I don't think those increases are a big deal........as long as they go for hunting and fishing (dnr) activities. In many states, if they raised a license $4, maybe $1 might go to DNR activites(making hunting and fishing better) That SUCKS! Hopefully your increase will all be used wisely, not for some bogus non-effective program.

GOOD LUCK!

The last increase was in 1994.I wish everything would only increase 5% every 10 years.Hell,prescription drugs is hitting us for something like 15% a year.


No,they haven't gone too far,just covering cost.It is called inflation and I wish my shop would have a little and give me a raise.I make less a year now than I did 5 years ago.Thanks China.[]

A few years back South Dakota raised their non resident annual fishing permit from 30 dollars a season, to 60 dollars a season. And they haven't looked back. Rumor has it they are about to raise it again. Shoot, I'd have jumped for joy if they only raised it 4 bucks..

Course now that their going to drain the great reservoirs to save a couple of sand birds and a minnow. Be kinda hard to sell licenses without the reservoirs, but hey, who am I?

Sorry about the rant, I know this is a bowhunting forum, but I sometimes get enflamed.

avid: i agree completely I don't know if they have a lifetime hunting license where you live or not, but I'm definately trying to buy one. it's the only saving grace for higher license prices.

The youth shouldn't have to pay a dime!

In AR, the kids don't need a fishing or hunting license until they reach 16 years old....
