No More License

[Mobasser]

I guess maybe there are some benefits to getting older. I'll turn 65 next month.          Once you turn 65, Missouri doesn't require that you have a fishing license. I will need a tag if I go trout fishing this winter, but I think it's around 8 dollars. I've bought a fishing license every year since I think I was 18.                                                      Hard to believe I don't need a fishing license after next month. Hope everyone is ready for October. Sometimes, it can be a great month for fishing.

Welcome to the club. Florida gives residents a lifetime license for both fishing & hunting at the age of 65. Finally a little perk for all those years of financial support.

Congratulations on such a milestone! And Thank goodness you don’t live in WA state. You’d still be paying full price until 70! No joke. You not a senior in their eyes until then. Only at 70 can you take advantage of the “senior” fee for the rest of your life. ?

I made it there this year also . When I was a kid My parents always gave me a hunting/fishing license for Christmas .

[Captain Phil]

Bought my first Florida fishing licence when I was 16, stopped buying them when I turned 65.  Ten years of no license so far.  Wonder if I will ever break even?  ?

Minnesota USE to be 65 - now it's 90 before you don't need a license anymore.

90? That's actually embarrassing to publish that.

90! Well thats nice of them . I know I wont be fishing at that age , if I make it . My legs are too weak . Its a hereditary trait thats been passed down to me .

 

Well its that time of morning for me to walk the stairs  downtown . 244 of them .  I can only do it once. Then walk around main street and the riverfront for an hour . I'm trying to stay strong .

Same in Pa. Lifetime fishing and hunting license is free at 65.

[padlin]

MA is half price 65-69, free after that.

[Skunkmaster-k]

65 and older still have to have a license in Texas , unless they were born before 1931. Dad usually gets the super combo and I think it’s around 35$.

In January I will be able to buy a senior lifetime for $52. here in PA. So that's what I'm going to do. Getting old.

Unfortunately not. I turn 63 this year and even my dad doesn't qualify as he's only 88.

Yeah, that's an insult, I'd rather they just do away with it all together.

Lucky dog - here's the fee for a lifetime license based on age in MN - ya, they rip us here too.

I'll take his over mine anyday, @Ski

Just when you think they can't find a more ridiculous way to shake you down for more of your hard earned money.  

 

90 years old....give me a break, what a joke.   I can't remember the last time I saw a 90 year old on the water or the woods.  Talk about money hungry.

Louisiana 82 ?

 

There's one exception, if you were born between 1940-1962 you pay $5.00 for everything except Federal Duck Stamps or Deer Tags. I fall in this category.

Catt, that's not too bad. I would be in this group also.

Still 82 is too old.

Someone good with social media could probably make that go viral and get the rule changed. I don't understand how any rational person could think that rule was a good idea.

 

I clicked that link and found out the regulations are almost 100 pages long too! Holy cow.

[WRB]

California isn’t license friendly to any age group $54 resident annual that expires 31 December regardless when purchased.

Lifetime license is now available for various ages groups, 62 and over is $594 as I recall, break even if you live another 10 years.
