Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

Just curious what the fee is for non-resident hunters in your home state. Washington is $722.70 for everything (elk, deer, bear, and cougar). Just a deer or elk tag though is 394.20.

How does your state compare?

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

A Pennsylvania adult non-resident tag for the whole season is $101.

This gets you:
1 Buck tag
1 Spring Gobbler Tag
1 Fall Turkey tag (either sex)
All small game

north carolina is cheap don't know what is is exactly but will ask my oldest son

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

i checked the north carolina site and it looks like 80.00 for six day permit with tags

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

I heard from a buddy that in Virginia, a non-resident lisence for $140.00 gets you 5 deer tags, 1 bear tag, 1 cat tags (don't know if that is a bobcat or something else) and at least 1 turkey. If this is true I may join him on his Thanksgiving-time hunt.

+$25 for archery
+$30 for ea. add'l archery (2)
+$30 for add'l gun
+$25 for muzzleloading

TEXAS. . . . .

Just got the new Texas 2004/2005 book and it shows $300 for the season, all game, or $45 for a 5 day, in a row, dated tag.;)

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

TEXAS was $250, now its $300. That and a thousand dollars might get you a place to hunt. Not non-resident friendly in my opinion. (The 5-day $45 is for exotics, birds and squirrel, Not for DEERS) ADD to the license the fees for Archery, TX waterfowl, Turkey stamps.):eek:

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

can anybody from Virginia verify the out of state cost? And is it true that for $140 you can take 5 deer, 1 bear, a turkey?

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

I just got off the Virginia State game website...it appears to be tru info about the bag limits and prices for non-residents.....looks like they may have even RAISED the limits this year.....

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

Iowa is something like $390 and Wisconsin is around $160. My resident Minnesota license is $78, that lets me hunt all gun, archery and muzzleloader seasons. I'm not sure what nr is here. The new bow is going to have to wait since I'll be out over $600 in tags alone this year.

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

Minnesota NR Firearm license is $136. For archery the state just passed what they call Resiprocity (sp). What it means is that the price of a NR archery license in Minnesota is the same as your home state would charge a NR for an archery license. I guess it is a way to get back at Iowa for jacking up the price on their NR archery licenses.

RE: Cheapest state for non-resident tags?
 

I paid $110 to gun hunt in New York last.

ILL is about $300 for Bow and $200 for shotgun. USed to be half that 2 years ago!

is this really still relevant?

Not sure this is true. I'm a NC resident but I was raised in South Side VA where I still have family and close friends. You will have to have a Non resident license in addition you will need a NR Big Game license(if you will hunt deer or big game)and a NR permit for every weapon you choose to use. On the website I see my cost will be

NR license $111
NR Big Game $86
NR Archery permit $31
NR Xbow permit $31

for a grand total of $259. Now I am using fees for the whole year if you just use a firearm you won't need additional weapon permits. Also they offer short term hunting permits that would probably be less if you have a scheduled date and time to hunt.

This thread is from 2004, think alot of fees and regulations have changed since then.

I really did not pay attention to the date of OP. You are correct Sir much has changed since then.

Dang it, Cruiser ... bet me to it.

Man has it been wet where I hunt near Eufaula. Have unofficially recorded 53.5" of rain from May 3 through August 17. Got over 7" from Aug. 9 -to Aug. 17.

Same here in N.Florida almost flood stage.

Wisconsin is 175 for archery and 175 for gun. you get one doe tag and one buck tag with that. small game is 75 for the reason if my memory suits me correctly.

Exactly why do people join a forum then dig up a 9yr old thread as thier first post? :hit:


Seems to happen ALOT here lately.

135$ in jersey for a specific season. bow , shotgun etc each is 135
