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.

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 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?

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.

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!!!

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.
