RE: Do you have a lifetime license in your state?
In WV they have them. It's $425 for it. Covers everything except additional tags and a bear stamp. I have one that I got a while back, and since I live in VA now...it has paid for itself a couple times over already. (non-resident would be about $200/year for the hunting I do).
I bought one for my son as well. If you buy it before they turn 2, you can get an Infant Lifetime Lic for $213.
VA has one also, but it is only for small game...I think it's around $250. You still have to buy your big game license and any additional tags. Definitely not worth it in my opinion.
