Hey guys for anyone who was thinking of going out for a hunt this year they have implemented some new license rules they may have priced me out of my yearly trip out west.
The price of a deer buck or doe is $396.75, cow elk &496.75 bull elk $661.75. All non resident fees. $10 habitat stamp plus a $9 non resident processing fee that is new. If you are denied your license application all but the $10 habitat stamp , $9 processing fee plus an additional $15 return processing fee. But wait that’s not the kick in the balls. You now have to purchase a qualifying license to even apply for a license that is non refundable. The qualifying license are a spring turkey license for non resident is $151.75, or a non resident small game license for $81.75
you do not have to buy a qualifying license if you only pick up an over the counter bull tag. So if you were or are thinking of heading out some info to pass on. Add your plane fare plus lodging food car. Etc. I don’t have to pay for any car lodging or food due to hunting with family and friends it’s the license cost that maybe getting me. I might just finally give it up heading to Colorado and just start heading to Tennessee to deer hunt. My buddy moved from Florida and bought a couple hundred acres on the Alabama Tennessee border that he keeps asking me to come down.
