Wow, that's a lot of greenbacks for a state with a relatively small population!

The surprising thing is that here in Iowa, an out of state hunting license is only $63 more than in-state.

However if you want an any sex deer permit you're looking at $221.50 vs $27 for an in-stater. These prices include the General license and the habitat fee.

For as much as Iowa is thought of as a Mecca for trophy bucks, you'd think they'd charge more!


Also keep in mind a lot of the money that states take in from out-of-state hunters, like my $100 to pheasant hunt in MN, goes directly towards programs like CRP and toward the purchase of more public hunting lands, so local hunters benefit immensely!
