ny license fees

[bacatit]

Just picked up the required licenses for my 17 year old son and myself for the upcoming hunting,trapping and fishing season. Grand total of $284. Same licenses in Alaska would cost us 174 as AK residents. Got to love NY. They wonder why participation is down.

_{I would say if you want to save the boy money get him the lifetime sooner than later. That is of course if he plans to stay and suffer in NY like the rest of us.}

If you cant pay that for an entire years worth of entertainment you either need a new hobby or new career

That's great for Alaska, license fees are more expensive in a lot of other states than here.

Lifetime license is good for lifetime, no matter if you live in state or not. Best bang for the buck, but like has been said, that is still cheaper than other states.

You got ripped off...

Another benefit is that any lifetime license now carries a one time legacy allowance. This allows us to pass along the license to one of our kids/grandkids one time only. Maybe the one good thing our Gov. did for the sportsman of this state. Anyways good luck. I'm heading up to Selkirk shores in three weeks for our annual salmon fishing trip. Bring em boys. I'm starting to feel the fever.

im not familiar with that can you describe what that means?

• I just looked it up. It only applies if the license holder passes away within 1 year of purchasing it. or if he passes while on active duty in military..  News to me. I was writing what I've heard from other guys. I guess it pays off to read the details and always check info for yourself.
