ORIGINAL: Water Swatter
I was born and raised in northern Indiana and I still remember my dad calling me here in Colorado to say they were going to double the cost of the hunting licenses. Luckily for me and my dad we both had lifetime licenses. I got mine for graduation while my friends got cars and watches. I thought it was the coolest gift I had ever gotten.
Absolutely awesome gift. My father bought myself and two of my three brothers lifetime combination hunting/fishing licenses for Oklahoma. They were all to be for the 16th birthday, but I am the youngest of the four so I got mine for my 14th birthday just a couple months before they went from $150 to $225. I have no idea what they cost now but it sure is nice to go to OK for a visit and be ready with whatever license or tag is required to hunt or fish for almost anything in the State without having to pay the non-resident fees. Also for me, the coolest gift I have ever gotten too!
