Bowhntr Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Has anyone heard about the state of South Carolina raising the cost of NR hunting licenses for this coming season? I heard this a while back but I'm not sure that it is true. Just wondering if anyone else had heard anything about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: License fee increase? Haven't a clue, but if your state offers a lifetime hunting liscence..jump on it! I bought mine right before Indiana hiked their tag costs up, then the next year or so they even stopped selling the lifetime liscences. I paid a little over $500.00 for my lifetime and it's already paid for itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhntr Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: License fee increase? Yes, my state does offer a lifetime license but I'm not in a position to buy them right now. Although, my daughter already has hers. I'm wondering about Nonresident license for South Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbreedi1 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: License fee increase? TN went up last year to $136 for sportsman all inclusive. A lifetime will run you $1,620 here. If it were around 500 or so I would go for it. The best thing for a parent to do is to purchase their kids a lifetime when they are young when its dirt cheap. It runs 200 here for under 3years old.

arrow32 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: License fee increase? For me I can get my license for 18 bucks and then with all my extra stamps and stuff looking at around 50 bucks. Im looking into getting my lifetime license this year was going to last year but just couldnt get the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to hunt SC but with the cost of a lease and then 225 bucks on top of that was getting too expensive. I did hear about a possible increase a couple years back. I'll do some diggin' and see if I can come up with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan1990 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: License fee increase? oklahoma is possibly raising theirs i heard. i bought my lifetime combo just in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: License fee increase? Dont know about South Carolina, but the fees went up here in Tennessee a couple years ago. Lifetime sportsman here go by age and for my age group, it is pretty ridiculous really. Most of the time here I just hunt landowner which allows me to hunt without a license and is all legal so long as you hunting your own farm which most years in the past I have.

Squirrelhunter91 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: License fee increase? Definitely jump on the lifetime license if your state offers it. It's alot of money to layout but its totally worth it. My dad bought me mine when I was 11 and now I'm 15. It's almost paid for itself already!!!

woodshed Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: License fee increase? If you buy a lifettime license and then move. What happens to the status of it? Now your a nonresident with a resident lifetime license. Can you still use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: License fee increase? They usually go up a couple bucks each year up here here in Ontario. And 5-10 bucks for the non resident licenses. I believe last year a resident deer license was $33.50 and a non-resident deer license was $185. Believe it's identical for moose and bear.
