Finally Discoved an Old Person PERK !

[gwpercle]

Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries set me up with :

Freshwater Fishing License
Saltwater Fishing License
Small Game Hunting License
Large Game Hunting License
Antlered Deer Tags
Non-Antlered - Doe - Deer Tags
Turkey Tags
I was advised I could take wild (feral) Hogs , no limit .
Nutria - no limit and they would pay me $6.00 for each tail I turn in !

And I can I can use my Fishing License Fresh/Salt water to fish in Texas !!!

My total cost ... $5.00 !!! All because I'm over 65 [smilie=w:

I plan to make that $5.00 up with the first Nutria I spot ... I will be $1.00 ahead and Nutria is good eats to boot .
For once a +65 good thing happening ...(beats a prostrate exam seven ways to Sunday)
You guys may want to check with local wildlife dept...you may can get a cheap liscense or have a reciprocal agreement with another state .
Until this year I always bought a 3 day fishing permit when in Texas ... this reciprocal license thing was very welcome .

Here in Washington State the break starts at age 70.

[marlin39a]

Arizona calls it a Pioneer License. Have to be 70, with at least 25 yrs a resident. I got 5 yrs to go.

[Wayne Smith]

Got my lifetime hunting and fishing licenses couple of years ago. Still have to buy tags, though. I don't think my fishing license covers salt water, I'll have to check.

Got mine

[BJK]

I wonder if LA DF&G will send me all of those for Maine?

But seriously, that's a deal, $6 well spent. Good for you.

[green mountain boy]

wyoming calls theirs pioneer as well, age is 65 and 30 year resident, fishing and small game, sure works for me...and no conservation stamps needed.

[Hogtamer]

$7 @ 65 in Ga for the Sportsman license which includes any hunting and fishing activity in the state!

[JoeJames]

65 in Arkansas; seems like it was $55, but covers it all fishing and hunting. Available the calendar year you will turn 65.

[John Guedry]

Got mine too.

[CastingFool]

I wish Michigan was like that. I get a break on some licenses, but the doe tag is still $20. Per animal.

[Electrod47]

Here in Mississippi got my lifetime Hunt/Fish license at 65 with 1 year residency for 5.00. Have enjoyed that privilege now for 10 years.
When I lived in Arizona and then Texas, as a working man, I bought each year the full bore Hunt/Fish combo's and stamps even when I knew I would have little time to enjoy the outdoors beyond a day fishing one or two times a year. I wanted to support wildlife management. Its the last truly honest form of recreation where we can touch our past.

[Wheelguns 1961]

In my state, once you hit 62 it is all free except for add ons. For instance, there are numerous tags and stamps that aren’t included in a standard license. You have duck stamps, quality buck tag, extra doe tags, etc.

[Johnch]

Only 56 ,so the free licenses are a few years away

But Ohio dose have Land Owner licenses and Tags
As long as I hunt on my land or my parents land
I can hunt and fish for free

John

[shooterg]

$20 each for LT hunting and fishing in VA . Used to be free until they found out I was going to live that long ! Add-ons extra.

Always hunted the family farm w/o license . Never asked if it was legal !

I spent only $5.00 ... the lady told me I could take Nutria and they would pay me a $6.00 bounty on every tail I turn in ... I get to keep meat and hide ... not much to eat on the Tail so I'll turn them in for $6.00 ... I like this deal ... they pay me for shooting something good to eat !
Making out like a bandit on this set up !

and yes for sure ... Let's Go Brandon !!!

[Winger Ed.]

That's cool.

I'd double check to see if you need any stamps like we do for various kinds of salt water fish.
I can't see Texas Parks & Wildlife giving up those extra fees, especially for a non-resident.

[GhostHawk]

Bought my first senior citizen's fishing licence this year. 5$ Hunting is a separate fee. Still not bad IMO.

[dverna]

Senior license is not bad and we get $5 doe licenses in this part of Michigan. CWD area.

[Capn Jack]

Here in Washington State, I have a Disabled Veterans State parks Pass and a Federal Parks Pass. I also get my fishing licenses for I think it was $18.00. Been a while since I hunted and bought turkey tags, but that was cheap too. Interesting though, I still have to pay full bore for county boat ramps. I'll have to check into that. I'm 82

[Ole Joe Clarke]

I just show them my drivers license, don't have to buy anything. Lots of the add on's are not free though.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

[Burnt Fingers]

As a 100% disabled Veteran I receive a free Super Combo pack from Texas. It's EVERYTHING I need other than a Federal duck stamp.

[Nazgul]

Indiana has no license or fee when on your own property, which I am fortunate enough to have.

Lifetime fishing license was $17, got it last year.

On vacation last week in Alabama, an a got a free week pass to the pier.

[ulav8r]

65 in Arkansas; seems like it was $55, but covers it all fishing and hunting. Available the calendar year you will turn 65.

$35.50 for the combination license plus $10 for the lifetime trout. I think it was less when I got mine about 6 years ago.

[jaysouth]

As a 100% disabled Veteran I receive a free Super Combo pack from Texas. It's EVERYTHING I need other than a Federal duck stamp.

I would trade in my $10 lifetime hunting and fishing license and a $3,000 monthly disabiltiy check for a body that worked.

[dale2242]

Here in Oregon the wife and I get a Pioneer hunting and Fishing Combo license for $6 a year.
We have to pay full price for all tags except elk which are half price.
You have to be 65 YO and an Oregon resident for 50 yrs.
There is a reduced fee license for people over 70 but I don`t remember the fee.

like like like !!!

[Hossfly]

I remember getting my license after turning 65 and didn’t realize it would go down to $5, i ask if that was everything I needed, she said yes you’ve reached the magic age.

[Smoke4320]

In NC I can hunt my own land for Free..
or at 70 lifetime for free.
Just introduced 2 weeks ago by NC game a 50 + lifetime license for $265.00

Other states offer similar discounts or freebies for disabled veterans. Check with your state to see what they offer!

[Cosmic_Charlie]

Just turned 64, got a free stroke about a month ago. Luckily, no lasting effects except being on a blood thinner.

I'm Glad you're OK Charlie ... but a stroke wasn't quite my idea of an older person perk !
Discount hunting / fishing liscense ...grandchildren ... something like that ... Good Things !
There sure ain't many Good Things ...but not a stroke ... at least you got a free one !

Well thanks. I was lucky.

Last month’s guest speaker at our fishing club was a FWC Officer. In Florida, at 65 fishing & hunting licenses are free (except still have to pay for Federal migratory bird stamps). For $5.00 they’ll give you a permanent license card but you don’t have to buy one. I was trying to get more specifics from the FWC guy but couldn’t hear him over the prattle of side conversations going on during his presentation.
What our club really needs is a Sargent at Arms.
