I can tell you that.

We have lost over 200,000 hunters in MI since the peak in early 90's. This is the stat they will through at you.

You should have bought those earlyer , I already had mine and only paid $ 15.00 for each regular and restricted.

NEXT YEAR, NEXT SEASON, 2008.

I thought they were going up this year, but I just asked the other day when I was getting my grill tank filled and he said they didn't go up, maybe next year but he didn't know how much for sure.

The doe tags are more though right? Weren't they 7 bucks before? I didn't get any last year so I'm not sure.

A guy I work with just got some crop damage tags (5 anterless) for this month, so he is hunting already. He said it's kind of rough though since it gets dark so late and we start work at 4:30 in the morning.

If i remember right when i was reading the DNR's page, it should be $75 for the combo. Either way its rediculous.

Gary - any ideas on what we can do in PA to get 200,000 hunters to quit hunting? I'm all ears and ready to contribute.

Combo liscense 60.00? Dude a sportsman liscense in TN is 136. But thats all your big game fishing and migratory together.

In VA, they did something which is kinda cool. We now have a lifetime license for $255 if your between age 12-44. The price goes down as age goes up. It doesn't include individual tags, but still pretty cool. Our annual sportsman's license (as mentioned above) is $120.

Just an FYI for comparison.

Dude what a bummer. $75. Outrageous.

Let your deer numbers get out of control and have bad winters like we did in 95-96(350,000 UP Alone). When it gets a little tough to hunt and some have to work a little bit a pile of guys will quit

If guy can not go 100 yds of a two track and put a pile of apples and kill a buck than it just is not worth it here in MI
