I bought my 2019 South Dakota resident small game (minus federal waterfowl stamp), fishing, and trapping licenses tonight. Licenses ended up being $90 and they charged me two agent fees ($4 each) to buy a license from them. The agent fees are the same if you buy from the state on-line or buy a license in a store somewhere. So, I hope they enjoy my $98 and use it wisely in their work. I can't wait to drop another $100-200 to hunt deer and antelope in my home state. Sigh...

That's nuts...

Highest resident fees around the last time I checked I believe is some adjoining States you would get some big games tags for the same money or less!

Can you get a lifetime license? Good deal for younger sportsmen if SD has one.

Nope you get a break at 65 but you might need to be carbon dated to qualify!

From every thread I have seen you post on you would &:$@) if you were hung with a new rope. If it was too expensive don’t apply.

Here in Tennessee our sportsman license is $165 and I also hunt Ohio and can get my nonresident for about the same money so I feel your pain

I got my Kansas lifetime hunting and fishing license as a gift when i turned 16. Best gift i have ever received. That was 22 years ago and the combo cost $400 and now its closer to $1000.

Trapping, hunting and fishing that's as basic as it gets, big game tags are $45 each for deer $25 for turkey so that's pretty spendy for a resident! What do you pay?

Holy cow... I pay $38 for a hunting (small game and big game) license and fishing combined in Idaho. Trapping license is $28.

NY is cheap.

22$ for small game and turkey and a buck tag
A doe permit is 7
Trapping 21 if I remember right
Present is 25$ and right after they made it a tag hunt they closed the peep farms
You guy pay a lot to hunt

Young Lic 9$ hunting, trapping, archery, muzzleloader

I'd hope they would spend some $ on a new rope for me. An old rope might not be worth the show

Yeah, I may like to whine (I eat plenty of cheese with my whine) but I thought others might find it interesting what we pay as residents to do extractive outdoor sports in this state. To fish, hunt small game (including waterfowl), trap, attempt 2 buck deer, and 1 spring gobbler, my bill is going to be at least $238 this year. Now, its probably a baragin when compared what it costs to go to a new movie and have popcorn and a drink each time but as Law Dog has pointed out, its some of the highest for resident licenses. I better get some winter mrats caught this month to pay for my new trapping license. Enjoy Minnesota...

$30 for small game and fishing license here + $9 for habitat stamp & habitat management access validation stamps $1 vendor fee.
Most big game is by draw only

Comment from a guy that knows nothing about what increases we have seen in the last 20 years, I cannot think of a fee or tax the last Governor did not raise in the last 8 years several multiple times. GFP has raised their fees consistently every chance they get also, along with that we have had sharp declines in about every species we have lately so ya we are not happy.

If they were going to hang us the rope would be Federal surplus rope and a fee would be involved for that also! LOL

We are in the bottom 3 for wages and the taxes in the past went along with that so ya it's kind of a problem then.

In WV:

Hunting/trapping/fishing: $35 (Allows me 3 bucks, 2 bear, 3 turkey) this sounds pretty good but read on.

The 3 bucks are based on 1 with a bow, 1 with gun, 1 with muzzleloader. You can kill 2 bucks in many counties in any of those 3 seasons. However, you have to buy additional tags to to so. See below.

Additional deer bow: $21 (allowed 2)

Additional deer gun: $21 (allowed 2)

Additional deer muzzleloader: $16

Bear damage stamp: $10 (required to hunt bear)

Antlerless deer: $10 each (may buy up to 3)

To hunt with a handgun: $8

Trout stamp: $10

Transaction fee: $2

There are lifetime hunting licenses: (this only covers the currently $35 hunting/trapping/fishing license all the other license/stamps above must be purchased yearly.
Infant: $402.50
Adult: $805
Senior hunting/trapping/fishing: $25 1 time fee. Again you must purchase all yearly stamps/licenses.

All purchases incur the $2 transaction fee. I try to purchase everything I need at one time. I once forgot my bear stamp and wasted $2 to buy it by alone.

All additional licenses for any of the deer seasons except antlerless must be purchases BEFORE the season opens.

Condolences. $100.00 about covers my hunting, bow stamp, fur bearer permit and WCO's permit.

Next year will probably get pricy as I'm hoping to do some water fowling.

hunting fishing trapping 75. deer tags (one any deer one antlerless) 65. trout stamp 14.5 paddle fish tags (6) 12.5.

yet somehow they don't have the money to net spawning walleye on the melvern dam, raise thousands of walleye to about an 8 inch length before stocking them anymore.

here in ks its called wildlife and parks with most of the money wasted on parks for city people and their rv's to use. they pay a fee but it is not nearly enough to fund the park side.

Fish-hunt-fur and habitat= $81 in Iowa
