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

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.

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

[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.

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
