    Default How much does it cost you?

    I was just wondering what it costs everyone to buy the licenses and tags to hunt deer in their own state. Here in Kentucky we have to pay $20 for a hunting license and $30 for a deer permit which is good for two deer, and only one of the two can be a buck. So its a total of $50 for a resident of KY to hunt deer. What does it cost in your state?

    I pay nothing to hunt anything but waterfowl. My grandparents bought a lifetime license for me when I was young... great investment

    I think a license here is around $30

    $36 bucks here in Ontario. Good for a buck, unless you were successful in obtaining a antlerless deer tag. Then its good for either.

    $0

    A few years ago I bought a lifetime hunting license. It ran me $400 and I will never have to buy a tag for another Oklahoma Animal again. I also will not have to buy a License.

    The only things I have to buy are Federal mandates like a duck stamp.

    So long as I hunt on my land I am covered under the landowner exemption and have to pay nothing, however when I hunt my neighbors land I do buy my license and it runs $28 for the hunting and fishing combo license and then $28 for each weapon(archery, ml, gun), and then you can get a type 94 special season license for non quota hunts that is another $21. If you get the annual sportsman it is $136 and covers everything.

    Lifetime sportsman in this state for guys my age is pretty steep, last time I checked was around $1600.

    We have a couple different options.

    You can buy:
    Archery Tag - $15
    Firearm Tag - $15

    or

    Combination Tags - $30

    and Antlerless tags are $15

    Basically the difference is an archery tag is used in archery season and firearm tag in firearm season (obviously). With the Combo tags, either can be used in archery or firearm. During archery season, either one can also be used to tag an antlerless deer as well. One is also a restricted tag, where a buck can be taken with it but it must have 4 or more points on one side. There are also different rules for the UP as far as the buck tags go.

    Some people go to church and think about hunting. Others go hunting and think about God.
