I was reading in the paper on Sunday about how the state of MI wants to increase its hunting license fees. They do not want to increase by a few dollars but by doubling the price. I always buy a combo license but rarely shoot any bucks, I like to just hunt for venison so I take a couple doe a year. I am not upset about supporting the state to protect our resources, but how drastic the increases would be.

My question is, are MI prices extremely low or is it on par with other states? I am not talking about out of state fees, but for people that hunt within their own state.

Here is a link to the proposed changes along with the article.

Not sure, I haven't bought a license in 2 years...... Gotta love the lifetime. On a serious note, I think it is about $40 for a license and $20 per deer tag.

Missouri's is $19 for a resident archery tag. It includes 2 any deer tags and 2 turkey tags.

I'm from michigan too and I don't mind them upping the fees but i think they should do it over time. For instance a buck tag is 15 they're going to make it 30 next year. I think they should raise it 3 dollars for five years and there would be less controversy.
