RE: Do you have a lifetime license in your state?
I have one for Alabama.........boy... glad I do !!!! It was $450 for a combo Hunting/Freshwater fishing when I got it a few years ago. It doesn't cover any duck stamps or wildlife management areas.
But after moving here for work.........it would cost me $250 a year for an out of state seasonal license just for hunting (if I didn't have the lifetime) ! []

I have one in Nebraska, it only works for small game and waterfowl and it doesn't allow you to get big game tags at resident prices. South Dakota does not offer them.

I bought my lifetime license in WV in 1992.
Hunting & Fishing $300
Trout Stamp $100
Total $400
I can hunt anything that walks in WV without extra stamps except for bear but that only runs an extra $4. I can also fish anytime of year for any type of fish. I think to get what I got in 1992 sells for around $700 now. I am still a WV resident and based upon prices for regular license each year I am just now approaching the breakeven point, but I am only 30 years old and hopefully have several years left to enjoy.
I saw on some of the other posts discussion of senior licenses. In WV when you turn 62 or 65 can't remember which you can apply for a senior card at no cost. It gives you the same rights as the lifetime license.

from the dnr website:
The Lifetime Hunting, Fishing, and Sportsmen's License fees are as follows:
Lifetime Hunting: 30 times the current Hunting License fee
Lifetime Fishing: 30 times the current Fishing License fee
Lifetime Sportsmen's Combination: 30 times the current Sportsmen's Combination License fee
You must notify the Department of an address or name change.
Lifetime License fees are not refundable.
The duplicate license fee is $10 in the event of your license being lost or stolen.
IL BOW MAN IS CORRECT THIS DOES NOT COVER HABITAT STAMPS, ANY WATERFOWL STAMPS, OR DEER AND TURKEY PERMITS.
not a very good deal.
