What are you paying to hunt?

[mikee51848]

Added up what the cost of a PA resident license is and was wondering what you pay.
PA adult $20
ML $11
Archery $16
---
$47
Allows for 1 buck any season, anywhere in state, or 1 doe anywhere, only during late ML season.

Additional doe tags, Unit specific, are $6.

 

[Old Ironsights]

Depends on whether or not you know somebody, own land or get to try to hunt on the State shooting galleries.

If you don't have to pay for a Lease or Reserve, you could get away with less than $75.

Add at least $500 otherwise.

 

[Mark Ter Bush]

Adult license. $25.50
Deer tag. $24.50
Elk tag. $83.00

Ya'll just need to move to NC $40 covers all hunting and fishing for a year Bear, Deer, Turkey and Boar.

 

[hollandbriscoe]

When I lived in Ga. 60 would get you anything you wanted including 12 deer a year, bear, turkey, Trout stamp, and just about everything else but federal waterfowl stamp. This included WMA hunting

 

[Old Charlie]

I am past 65 so I don't pay the state anything anymore. How ever the hunting club I belong to is $350 a year. I could go to the public land to hunt but I don't like someone standing over me telling me what to do.

Taxachusetts (resident):

Hunting $27.50 (sporting45.00)
Archery stamp $5
Bear permit $5
MZ Stamp$5.10
Doe tag $5
Turkey$5
Wildlands stamp $5

Vermont (non-res):

hunting $90.00 (sporting/combo 120.00)
MZ $25
archery $25
Turkey $25
Moose (if I get a permit $350)

 

If I hunt on my own place, which I almost always do, Archery, $0.00, regular firearms, $0.00, muzzleloader season, $0.00, turkey, $0.00, general hunting license, $0.00. Obviously that doesn't include migratory birds but I rarely hunt them. I do have to purchase a fishing license but that's $20.00 for a year and covers everything unless I want to keep trout. That ain't gonna happen cuz as far as I'm concerned all trout are good for is catching, not eating.

:shocked2:
If you are from out of sate you are f---ed

I am sure I omitted or screwed up a price, it’s no wonder why people hate the DNR :hmm:

By the way the sharp-tails will all be gone before either of my sons are old enough to hunt them. I think the state thinks we should just kill them all (probably less than 3000) and be done with it.

$40 Sportsman License gets me statewide hunting & fishing, and serves as a State game lands permit.
Covers small and big game hunting and includes 6 deer tags (4 bucks & 2 does) plus bear, boar, and turkey.

And I'm extremely lucky to have exclusive hunting rights on two posted private farms...I spend about $200 a year on each landowner & family in the form of things like $50 gift certificates for a nice steak house in the spring/summer, + Christmas hams and Christmas presents for them, etc.

 

[rebel727]

32.00 for sportsman license which includes hunting/fishing, archery/primitive and turkey permit. no deer tags to buy. Hunt on private land is free.

Bear tag -------- $34.15

[rebel727]

Dammit booooy. I can't believe you have to have a tag to hunt wild boar. They're considered predators here and as such can be hunted anytime any other season is open with the same weapons used in that season. On deer we're allowed 3 bucks per year(one per day) with 4 points or better and 3 does per year(one per day). Plus two more does during archery season.

Man oh man, you guys got it down! I'm not gonna get my wallet to look but I think I drop about $60 for my NYS sportsman's liscense with turkey and bear stamps. That includes muzzloader. that would entitle to me to take at least one sometimes up to three whitetail deer. I pay $300 a year to a club which enables me to hunt on private land in the Adirondacks
Now I do know the sirloins I get from my favorite butcher to take up to huntin camp are about $27.
I think my twelve pack of Guiness is about $12

 

[Slowpoke]

Between South Carolina, Maryland, and Louisiana I spend about $400.00 for licenses. Then I spend about $2-3,000.00 for travel.
I was able to fly to S.C for $250.00 round trip when Hooter's Air and Independence Air were in business... now they're shut down I may have to cut my trips in half.
