Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game How many States have a lifetime hunting license?

MS does as well.
$1000 for over 12 years old
$500 for under 12

I just bought one for me and both of my young sons since we just moved from MS. I should have bought mine years ago.

I have one for Texas and one for Kansas.

Tennessee has a lifetime fishing/Hunting license for seniors at a one time nominal cost. To hunt alterless deer there is a yearly permit required at a cost of $28.

Alaska offers a permanent license to residents at 60.

I think PA's is only for senior citizens. Which doesn't make too much sense because they don't have too much "life" left anyway.

Nebraska has.

In Connecticut once you hit 65 they issue with out any fee. But my guess that will change with all the junk they passed. So you are 65 a resident hunting lic is 26 dollars, so the State waves that, but you now as of Oct 1, 2013 an Ammo Permit and the starting fee is 35 dollars. Its going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I have MS, TN, GA, and VA. With VA it is basically a small game license. I still have to buy a large game license, primitive weapons license, bow license. Those add up some but not having to buy a nonresident license has saved me some money over the years.

Tom,
Same here. Got mine for $525 in 98. It was my birthday and 5 yr anniversary present from my wife.

My father bought my son his lifetime hunting and fishing license here in VT for his first birthday. It cost only $145.00. That includes deer and bear tags. If purchased before the first birthday it is 5X the current rate. After that it goes to 25X. At 65 a lifetime license is free.

$145 for life can NOT be beat.

Louisiana lifetime hunting and fishing is still $500.00, 60 years or older is $50.00. That's all hunting and fishing, you still have to buy the Federal Duck stamp. My wife and I have had lifetime licenses for a number of years.
Good shooting!

I believe Utah is the same way. I don't believe they are offered anymore, but they had them when I was younger.

In Florida a lifetime sportsmans liscense in $1000. A lifetime hunting is $500, and fishing is $300 each for fresh and salt water. I bought the lifetime hunting years ago, wish I could have afforded the thousand dollars then. Bought both my kids lifetime sportsmans liscenses for $400 each when they were about 4 months old. I was told that the state gets money from the Feds for every liscensed hunter. If they sell you a lifetime liscense, they are guarenteed that $ from when you buy untill you die.

Also a separate one for the conservation stamp.
I got all these 12 years ago and I think it's going to be a good decision.

I bought mine here in Yankee Country in Sept. 2002............

Big game, small game & fishing $500
Muzzle loader $125
Archery $125

$750 and this year will be my 12 year. My ROI is looking bright.......

South Carolina has a life-time too.

Sisters and parents bought my Kansas hunting for college graduation in 1998, I think it was $350 then. I moved to Missouri the next week. Deer tags for me are over the counter, $30 some odd bucks, rather thanb $75 hunting license and $250 lottery deer tag.

My grandson was a year old yesterday and I'll get his for him soon, just like I did for his 25 year old dad when he was a wee lad.
It's one of the coolest things you can do for your youngsters, I believe.

NH has one on a sliding scale based on your age. Covers deer and bear tags. Have mine for archery and muzzleloader (deer only for both of those) as well.

Do you not have to have passed Hunter's Safety to get a Lifetime in MS?

That's one lucky granson!
