My guess is its all about money. Total resident license is now over $100 if you hunt deer, turkey, bear, ....rifle, archery & ML seasons. To me, that is a bit ridiculous.

I would like to seem them offer a sportsmans type license. Hunting and Fishing license, including all seasons & game - for one price. They could keep the a la carte type setup as well, some only fish, some only hunt small game, etc.
