The huge majority are deer hunters...So what do deer hunters pay in other states??
Georgia---$19(and you can shoot all the feral hogs you like) WV---$23 Pa---$20Pa is pushing fornearly doubling the fee.
Then compare ohio. It cost $43. That includes ML and archery. Add archery and ML tags to Pa and you have $47.(and MUCH higher than that after proposed fee increases)Right now though,Pa $47 compared to Ohio 43. And ohio has 10 times better hunting, quality and management. AND if you own land, you dont have to buy a license to hunt it!!!!
Or maybe you'd like to take a look at Illinois resident hunting license fees....One of the best deer hunting states in the country.... I cant find any added requirements of deer tags etc., but the base license is a WHOPPING SEVEN DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS! (LOL) Appears a habitat stamp might be necessary, its a whopping 5.50.
Kentucky has base license + fishing licenst for $30.
Yeah, Pa's just such a bargain to hunt a reduced deer herd of poor quality and a tree hugging game commission.[:'(]
