that would make a total of 98 for me.Quess I am going to have to do something I have not done yet,I wanted to pull my share and have not taken advantage of the disabled veteran benefits yet they give on the licenses

I guess it was bound to increase sooner or later. Can't say that I'm surprised. I just wish they'd offer an adult lifetime license like some other states do.

RE: PA License Fee Increases....
 

I believe it would put me at just over $100...all tags considered....

...though I like the idea of a lifetime adult resident license. How much would that run though at the current rate of increase? $500-$1000?

I'd be very interested in the lifetime license even if I am gettin long in the tooth!

RE: PA License Fee Increases....
 

I might check into it also.But unfortunately I'm getting short on the tooth.Been grinding those babies in my sleep taking the enamel out.
Wonder if I'm dreaming about missing a big buck in October?:D

That's so the Pa. Game Commission can spend more money on the white tail deer study. They have pissed away 20 years of money and research and need to start another survey.

:)....that oughta start a really nice debate.....;)

RE: PA License Fee Increases....
 

I hate to say it but whatever happens it'll be just like gas prices....

I'll be doing whatever it takes, I'll be shellin out the $$$ when gas goes to $5/gal and I'll be buying hunting licenses till I die.

For me, hunting is right up there with oxygen!!!

RE: PA License Fee Increases....
 

I guess I won't mind the increase as long as they are using the money to preseve hunting/trapping, wildlife, and the outdoor spirit.
