Well having just moved to NY I get a bonus. I get my bow tag, muzzleloaer tag and regular season tag, turkey tags, bear tag and fishing license for the enormous cost of $5.00. The $5 is to cover paper cost I guess. Normal cost is 80 something. I get it because I'm 50 percent military disabled. And to think of the past 25 years of $250 non resident licenses in NY I had to buy and that was without a bear tag. It wasn't fun getting blown up, but at least I get a cheap license. When I lived in Maryland I got a free license every 5th year for teaching hunter safety courses.
