license fee for whitetail
 

Just wanted to ask this question. What do you pay in you home state to hunt whitetail? Recently our DNR has proposed to double the fee's.[:@]here in Michigan the fee is 30.00 currently and supose to go to 70.00. This is a combo license, which alows a hunter to shoot one with a bow one with a gun or however you want. Is this to much to pay? I think so. Wonder where all the money goes?

I think I pay around $68 here in NY. Itcovers all seasons including small game and fishing. It also gives you two chances in a toe tag free.

Here in Tennessee you pay $135 for a combination license. That includes fishing. If you buy them separately it is $28 for fish and small game then archery is another $27 gun is another $27 and muzzle loader is another $27 and a permit for WMA is another $27. I could be off a dollar or two but its very close.I have a Sportsman Lifetime which covers everything. Two years ago if you bought a Sportsman and you were 40 years old it would have cost you 41275 now it is 41750. If u are over 65 it is now $275. In some states you don't need a license if u r over 65 and a resident.

In IL. I pay:
Sportsman license (Hunting and Fishing) 24.75
Archery deer tags(Includes 1 buck and one doe) 26.00
Archery turkey tag (1 turkey either sex) 5.50

I'm not sure what a firearm deer permit is because I don't gun hunt. However you do have to buy it seperately.

Archery deer in Wis. $20 (resident)
Archery deer in Ill. $434 (nonresident)

It's not a bad deal. 2 years ago it was 140.00, people b!tched about the increase but it didn't bother me too much, I enjoy the privelige to hunt and fish!

I believe I get an extra deer tag in there as well, hunter choice! It has changed so much this year the DNR were sending me tags months after I bought the license! I can buy antlerless tags all day long in the units I hunt for 12.00!

Michigan is a different story for me. I own property there but not a resident. I think I payed 356.00 for a Combo Archery/Gun deer license, turkey and small game! Like I said it doesn't bother me! I'll pay it, I've spent more money on less meaningful things!

When I was about 10 years old my dad bought me a lifetime hunting license for $125.00. The only thing I need to buy in my state is a federal duck stamp if I go duck hunting. Deer tags in Oklahoma are $20.00. I have shot well over 40 deer with my bow and several turkey's. I would say this license has been paid for several times.
