Lifetime license, who has one?
Just doing a search around the board on lifetime license prices in different states and what if any strings are attached. For my birthday this past summer i bought a Lifetime big game license. It includes "i think" deer gun tag, small game, turkey, bear and fishing for the rest of my life for $600. I bought lifetime bow and muzzleloader licenses for $180 each bringing the total to $960. I decided to do this cause im 24 and will be hunting for a long time to come. With the way this state is it will only be a matter of time before license dues increase more. After Gov. Pataki was re-elected several years ago hunting licenses went up quite a bit from what i remember so I did this to get it out of the way and have no worries.

I have the Indiana Comprehensive LL which includes all species and sublicenses other than Federal waterfowl Stamp and Migratory Bird Stamp(also Fed) . It doesn't include fishing or trapping , but I don't do either . I can literally write my own tags . I don't remember excatly what it cost , but it was just under $900 and can be upgraded at any time . I can even reside in another state after purchasing it .

RE: Lifetime license, who has one?
i gots mine a few years back (New York)
Sportsmens - $500 (fishing, big game, small game, doe permit)
Bow - $125
ML - $125
they have since gone up to $600, $180, & $180.
Kids lifetime lis. are cheaper.
I figured it woul take me about 12-15 years to get my money's worth - no brainer

I’m in Oklahoma and bought a lifetime combo hunting/fishing license for $525 about 5 years ago and now they are up to $750. But we only need one hunting license for everything except federal waterfowl.
I guess I should count my blessing not having to purchase separate archery and gun license.
