I hope they enjoy my $100...

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

most of the time the licencing is the cheapest part of what we love to do.

live on the PA/NY border and hunt-fish,and trap both states.-as the commercial says though-"PRICELESS".

Don't trout fish or duck hunt so I'm not sure on cost of stamps. To small/big game hunt, fish, and trap cost $35 in AR.

I feel your pain NonPC. Like danny just said ours are high too. No population=high taxes, and that’s all these permits, stamps, fees, ect... are.

On the upside our trapping regs are very trapper friendly in my opinion. Out west here it’s a mile or 3 between houses, and I hope it stays that way.

I think we are at 35 or 38 for deer and 30 for a turkey

I understand the thought. It's gotten harder and harder to disseminate what exactly the Fiish and Wildlife folks spend their money on versus what they Should be spending it on. We need the good field guys but these divisions of state government sure seem to be getting back/cause heavy.

I am surprised at those costs for a SD resident considering you have a good amount of multi specie non resident hunters and they pay a substantial amount that should offset things.

Osky

Trash NY all ya want but fishing,trapping, hunting (including big game) $15 a year. O yeah age 70. lol

NJ resident
All around sportsman license which covers shotgun, archery and fishing $72.25
A zone permit is required if you want to hunt permit bow, permit muzzleloader or permit shotgun $28 each. There are 67 zones in the state. If you hunt property in 2 zones, you have to buy a separate permit for each. This is an antlerless permit only. If you want to shoot a buck, cough up another $28 for a buck tag for each season. Bear tag $2. Turkey permit $28. $10.50 Rifle permit if you want to use your muzzleloader for deer and squirrel or a rifle for coyote and fox where also need to buy a permit for $2. Don’t get caught shooting any quail or pheasant without paying $40 for your stamp. Want to shoot a duck, buy your stamp for $5. I live on the border of 2 zones. My total cost for licenses and permits (if I’m lucky enough to fill my buck tags) is around $425 including the state fees. I hunt other states and in Canada as a non resident for less than I pay as a resident in NJ....but I did sell my house and I’m heading out to Montana in May to look at properties to relocate.

I average about 160 for my hunting and fishing license and another 50-60 for trapping and I don't get all the extra stuff to hunt in the state. It sure does suck.

How much is a ticket? You may want to bring that up - some violations in some states were not much more than licenses it sounds like.
Our licenses are not too bad here in Missouri for residents and really nice for landowners.

You guys need to contact your State Senators and Reps. and tell them to oppose Kansas Senate Bill 50. KDWPT has introduced a bill that could raise the maximum limit on licenses, stamps and other permits. Fishing, hunting trapping resident licenses could go to $50 apiece. Resident deer permit could go to $100, hunt your own landowners $50. Please contact your state reps and ask them to oppose SB 50.

Sportsman's license(fishing and small game) $41, trapping $23, turkey $26, deer $34, bonus doe tag $18, bear $44. All figures don't include agent fees which is minimal here in MN, I think it's a dollar.

It looks as though SD is more expensive to purchase outdoor licenses in. We have a state income tax, want to trade?

Wisconsin has a Conservation Patrons License, it covers deer archery, deer gun, trapping, fishing, small game, stamps, State Park access, etc. some preference point species are additional. That cost is $165.00. Costly, but if you compare it to a round of golf (I'm not a golfer) or other sports and leisure activities- I believe I get a nice return on my investment, it's the ante to play the game.

Illinois = ill start by saying this state sucks for so much but they do treat us residents well with the fees for hunting, fishing and trapping

sportsman combo hunt/fish 25.50
resident trapping 10.00
habitat stamp 5.00
agent fee 1.75
conveince fee 2.04
hunt small game,trap,fish = 44.29

deer bow tag antlered and antlerless 26 for both tags
spring fall bow turkey tag 5.50

total for me as I only hunt with a bow is 75.79 for the year.

now there are more charges to incure if you waterfowl hunt, deer gun hunt and turkey gun hunt I think shotgun deer tags are 42 for buck and a doe tag and turkey is 15 for shotgun and im not sure on the waterfowl stamp. non resident to hunt here is insanely expensive heck I bought a non resident elk tag in Colorado for what it costs non resident to hunt whitetail in illinois

Well, now you can Carry without a class or Permit Application...so thats something Good over there!

Same here. That is a good thing!

I feel for some of the Eastern guys, such as NH, where licenses are still fairly high and there's not a lot of variety in what they can hunt.



Nice round numbers. I wonder how they come up with those...?



Yeah, that was interesting. I wonder how long it will really last until things start to get nibbled away again. Then again, our "woke" population is fairly low...

Jeez, might be cheaper just to pay a fine. Kansas is such a tax greedy state.

ya'll are tighter than bark on a tree.

Yup,

Resident Big game (1 buck) & Small game = $22.00
Trapping = $20.00
Muzzleloading (1 Buck) = $15.00
Bowhunting (1 Antlerless)= $15.00
4 Doe tags = $10.00
Turkey Permit (3 birds) = $10.00

$92.00 total for these opportunities.

w

Try paying $1,184 yearly on a boat that is used 4 months out of the year.

tbn is that a tax, fees?

I bought a old D50 for parts I looked in the glove box at the old registration fee it was $34 for a small 4 cyl in 2009 now 10 years later the same truck is $75 now. The rate of pay here did not double in the last 10 years but many of the tags here have doubled and tripled in price. Like I said we are the 3rd lowest in income nationwide so that kind of inflation has not been matched by the income to go along with the tax/fee hikes is the point.

In the past I'd have several deer tags last year I did not get any, one reason is the price and the other is the deer numbers are way down and has been down for years.

Yep, and that doesn't include any deer tags, turkey tags, duck stamps, migratory bird fees...

I'm sure SD raised their fees to cover the loss of the millions of dollars that used to be spent there by the NR rat trappers, but hey you get all the good rat season for yourselves. LOL

Yep them 100 people really put the hurt on us! LOL

i smell walleye cookin.

In Pa, a hunting license is around $21. That is for small game, a buck tag, and fall and spring turkey. A furtaker permit would be another $21. A fishing license is also around that price too.

I think my biggest beef is the 3 day out of state fishing $37.... many times i have had friends come and want to fish ... if they have a cpl teenage kids its unafordable!!

No kidding tbn

$400 on the boat
$1000 on the 2015 Ford
$600 on the 08 suburban
$2500 on the house
$25-35/ac on the irrigated ground
$9-12/ac on the dryland

I never look at my personal property tax bill. I’m paying on two boats and still have to buy a 3 year sticker on top of that. I just let my wife send the check and try to keep my blood preasure down.

Yes our regs are easy to abide by. Wardens and biologists are doing a fine job. We have ver bealthy populations of wildlife. Politicians are gouging us with these fees and taxes IMO

I agree totally with your last statement, and i'll implement your technique of not looking at my tax bill. Great idea. Probably help my blood pressure quite a bit!!

About $140 to hunt,trap and fish in Ohio. Another $150 to deer and turkey hunt in PA, not bad.
Some would sit in a bar and spend that in a weekend, I'll sit in a tree

I'm not biting.

w

Adult, non-senior, Ohio residents pay $19.00 for a hunting license, $19.00 for a fishing license and $15.00 for a fur taker permit. So we pay $53.00 for what a South Dakota resident pays $98.00 for.

Keith

I've had this conversation so many times with friends and family around the country. I've heard so many PA residents complaining about the license fees there (btw...I grew up in central PA) but right now I'm spending two or three times what my brother does in PA.

Compared to resident fees in neighboring states SD is really expensive. I do love it here but I wish it were just a little bit cheaper. At the current prices it sometimes seems like it would be cheaper to buy meat than to fill the freezer with wild game.

And here's more food for thought ... SD residents have to apply for deer and antelope licenses in a lottery. The only big licenses we are guaranteed are archery tags.

Andy

That was merely property tax on a 18.6 ft. Skeeter bass boat when I fished tournaments. County court house argued it was a luxury. Would show up at a state tournament and see boats pulling in with Missouri and Texas plates,thought it was a bunch of out of staters,nah just smarter than I was at the time,lol.

I think the one think that aggravates me the most in Ohio is the game wardens got all brand new trucks, four wheelers boats etc. All paid for by sportsman's but you never hear about the state buying land for public hunting etc.

Ya'll need more NR's to buy tags, that should help fill the coffers.

Actually, SD limits the NR tags in the initial drawings for big game tags to 8% of the tags offered. It's odd how it seems like I see a TON of NR hunters coming through town. And, I always manage to run into guys who claim they've been coming to Harding County every year for the past 15 years hunting deer, but I don't draw a tag every year as a resident. SD makes more on NR small game hunters coming for pheasant.

Andy

Pa. charges NR's 5x what a resident pays, which is only 20 something, so it doesn't take many NR's to help pay the bills.

and we have nicer muskrats.

For a sportsman in Iowa to engage in the outdoors hunting, fishing, trapping, this includes waterfowl, 1 deer, 1turkey 157.50. Additional deer [doe tags] 28.50 for the first one 13.00 for any more [if available], 24.50 for a second turkey tag. For hikers, birdwatchers, kayakers and the such, that enjoy the outdoors and the services the DNR provides such as bike trails, hiking trails and water trails 0.00.

we can watch birds for free here too ... even breathfresh air n/c

That’s ridiculous. $20 for 2 year registration on a boat here. Trailers are $20 for 2 years. $100 for truck, less than that for car. I got lifetime plates for my Chevelles for $150 each.

Hope this makes some of you feel better about your licenses and fees. https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/#/application/help?tab=3&subTab=-1

I contacted my Senator and asked him to vote against Kansas SB 50 and he is against this bill, I hope the rest of the Kansas guys will do the same and defeat this bill.

So become a non consumptive user of the resources. I think, all things considered, it a reasonable fee.

Bought my lifetime hunting/fishing and habitat stamp about 15 years ago for $50 each, pretty (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) good investment. Big game licenses are all bought separate, not expensive at all. I think the furbearer license was $42 this year, even a crappy coyote pays for that:)

I know a guy thats a multi million air... he lived with his mom and dad all his life and they had a very successful business.... i knew he liked to fish as id see him at the jim river from time to time..... i seen him at court house one day we were in line getting liscense plates.... i asked how the fishing, he went into a rant cause he turned 62 and didnt get senior discount till 65.... so he was going to wait till then.... sheesh cheat ya self outta 3 years of fishing to save a few bucks..

Shhh, don't tell that money & gun grabbing commie governor.

Second thought he already knows because they had to drop the price to get hunters back. There was a big boycott after the UN-safe act. Non-resident now includes small game & a bear tag for I think $100., big drop.

Our Pa. doe tags are only $6.90.

I think my fish permit was $28 and an ink cartridge to print it off was $38. I could fall in a barrel of boobs and come out sucking my thumb.
What gets me, is most places a guy hunts, traps, fishes, is private property and the state really has nothing to do with managing any of it.

lol thats bad luck

It costs you guys a grand a year to license a pick-up truck in KS...?

BillyTraps- That list you presented is at least the self-preservation of about half a dozen bureaucrats. You wonder how they sit around a table and think up various seasons and what they "should" cost. Good luck at keeping sane out there.

Pretty much if it is fairy new. The wifes Buick Verano was 600 something when she bought it, And yes we pay yearly and dearly.

Wow, I guess! Then again, we haven't bought anything newer than 6 years old recently (2 years ago). I live a sheltered life from newer vehicles.

What if the pick-up was used mostly for commercial use? Would your state peeps stiff you at a higher rate or would it be about the same? At least that license could be itemized on your fed taxes (last year anyway before they jacked the standard deductions) and you'd get a little relief (maybe).

I have had a fair to poor population of birds in my slough... seen about 20 hens so i been feeding some cracked corn. just got off phone w warden asking if they had any feed i could get... nothing available...... if they are going to do anything at all to help population they should subsidize the birds in times like this... everything is drifted in hard and cold... to be honest i might have lost them in this last cold snap as havent seen any last cpl days.

When I read your post I thought "Dang that sounds pretty cheap" so I looked up the Nebraska permit costs.

Hunt- $18
Fish- $38
Trap- $18
Habitat Stamp- $25
State waterfowl stamp- $10

Total = $109. You gotta pay to play

Yeah, you've guys up north have had a much tougher winter (as usual) than us down here almost in Iowa land. The potential for the worse killing weather is typically yet to come. The pheassies, like yours, have been geetting hammered and go into the end of winter in poor shape. Then one of 1-2 punches comes in with wet snow or drizzle first and then the a deep cold spell. The birds either suffocate when their nostrils freeze shut and/or they simply freeze to death because they have no reserve left. The coyotes might eat well in late Feb or March...

A hunting (small game),fishing, and furharvesting permit in your neighboring Nebraska is higher in price for residents (you will need both a Habitat Stamp for upland game and fish to make your permits valid,,, other stamps optional for ducks, trout etc.) and I'm 65 with no break on price.

Its ALL about how much money they can siphon out of sportsman's pockets.

We have 7 deer seasons here in Michigan. The first is in the latter of September for youth and disabled Vets.

When Rifle season comes the deer are already spooked beyond belief.

And the DNR just cut out baiting for this year and beyond.

They wonder WHY there a re fewer licenses sold each year! DUH!

Good thing this isn't about non-resident pricing. Also, all of the trucks, salaries, benefits, state pensions, etc come out of license fees and general fund taxes. I'm not protecting anybody, just stating. I grew up in NY. Pretty good hunting, trapping, and fishing. Lack of jobs, high taxes, and bad weather drive people away. Yes, we will include the Democrats.

I remember buying a sportsman license when I was younger. Get everything for 20 bucks I thought no it was. Now days I spend about 150 for all my licenses and tags. More if I draw a special hunt.
