How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

It sounds like many of you travel to different states to hunt, obviously you need licenses for those states. So, I got to thinking... What is the most expenisve out of state license you paid for?

Im from Florida but go to school at the University of Delaware, which is on the border of PA and MD. So I hunt maryland often.

MD out of state license -$130
bow stamp- $25
extra buck tag (optional)-$25
public land permit- $35
muzzleloader permit-$25 (i hunt on bow only state land, but in order to hunt during the muzzleloader season with a bow, I need a muzzleloader stamp)
total- $215 without extra buck tag

How much do you pay?

I put more than $250. I am including the price of travel, either gas or airfare. Tags are really a small part of the equation for me.

I only voted $150-200 because that's what my VA license cost me, last year. I'll be headed to KS, next year.....and I have no idea, right now, of those license fees.

Over $250 for tags and lease in Illinois.

NJ non-resident bow $135.50 + $28 for permit season. I haven't gun hunted over there yet, but that may happen at some point in time. That would be an additional $135.50.

$300 for a nonresident license in Arkansas. I think the AGFC bowed to pressure from resident hunters that are trying to discourage out of state hunters from coming to their state and raised it from $225 to $300. Tack onto that another $600 in lease fees that I pay. Much the same way that Arkansas discourages industry/businesses from coming to their state. If I didn't have family and land there, I would probably just hunt in Texas.

$495 for a single bull elk tag in Colorado.

Its like $276 for a combo deer license in Michigan! I'm a property owner there but a NON resident! I like what Minnesota does with NR. They charge NR what their state charges NR to hunt! Seems fair to me!

Ontario buck tag is $180 this year. I don't find it unreasonable compared to some states.

and i thought i had it bad....haha, i guess for a college student with an empty bank account.

travel was mentioned as well..... I guess im also lucky that it only costs me around $10-$15 (depends if im runningon time or not)in fuel each hunting trip. But at 3-4 trips a week, thats a tank of gas... travel for me gets expensive, i cant imagine what some of yall pay

Guardian - What year are you at UD, Ive been there 6 yrs doing my undergrad & masters, but done now, I live not to far away and do lots of hunting in the area.

Where in MD do you hunt?

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

im going into my fourth year, however i just changed my major to accounting. I played football my first two years, but injured my lower back. I was going to come back because we play Navy this season and Maryland next season, but decided against it. I'll be there for 2.5 years. I hunt elk neck state park: turkey point, rogues harbour, carter, and I am going to try to hunt elk neck state forest this year.

Im wondering if you did any work at Fair Hill? I used to go out there and watch all the deer. Its incredible how many are out there..

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

stay outta the forest if you dont have a gps[8D] I've lived next to it for 23 years....

I've had numerous people come wandering up to my door near hypothermia and all outta sorts. ITs a big woods and easy to get turned around in.

In WV it only cost me $35.00 for a combo hunting and fishing license and you can buy 2 extra archery tags for $20.00 a piece.

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

IL is well into the $400+ range for non-resident hunting, archery and the refuge tag or whatever that thing is you need.....just to bowhunt deer.[:-]

Between that and gas money it's still worth every penny (and more)to head out to IL and chase big bucks with a good friend.:)

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

Tags only - around $70 for turkeys and around $240 for black bear.

Travel expenses only add to the cost.

I'm too tight to hunt out of state...and I'm lucky enough to have plenty of land in NC to hunt, full of deer, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, etc...

I'm so tight, I don't even know what an in state licence costs, bought my lifetime for NC back in '83....I think it was $300 for hunting/fishing/big game/primitive weapons...

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

I believe my nonresident tags for Illinois came out to 443.00 last year:(...of course, that is only part of the expense of an out-of-state hunt.

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

The most I have ever paid was 775 for a New Mexico elk tag. That will change if I ever draw a sheep tag. So far 5 states for 8 years and no luck.

RE: How much do you pay to hunt out of state?
 

I am sure it is going up this year, but last year in IL, it was $365 for the deer tag, I think $50 for nonres huntin permit, $5 for habitat stamp and $13.50 for handling fees. I might be off a couple bucks here and there but that is close.

I know it is rediculas but I have permission to hunt private ground and there are some bruisers in that area. Plus I am usually over there at least once a week, only a 45 min drive.

Alberta tags, $275. Total hunt cost with air fare about $5000.[:@]:D:D Memories, priceless.;)

I hunt the archery season in Connecticut and the license for out of staters is $100.00. It allows me to start my archery season a month earlier than in my home state of Massachusetts,

For turkeys this spring, I spent $550 (all expenses, tags, gas, food, lodging, etc.) hunting both wyoming and south dakota. This was a 8 day 2500 mile round trip. 3 of us drove from Missouri. You cant get much cheaper fo a trip than that.

Why states charge so much more for deer is crazy to me! This is why I can hunt at least 5 states for turkeys and only 2 at the most for deer.
