Cost of a Hunting License

Admin · Joined: Posts: 68

The cost of a NC Sportsman's License has been $40 for at least 20 years. I don't know how long it actually has been that price, but it has not changed in over 20 years.

Here's an interesting Poll. According to Inflation Adjustment Calculator, $40 in 1985 is the equivalent to $69.20 now (as of 2004). Would you be willing to pay more for a hunting license to allow the Wildlife Department of NC to spend as needed?

From what i understand a fee increase is being discussed now to raise the nc sportsman license to $50.00 this year.A south Carolina and Georgia Resident Sportsman license is $60.00 now.If the Wildlife would use the money properly, have a better population of game, quality habitat and start limiting access to our gamelands by non-hunting public use during our short western firearms deer season I'd support the fee increase. Another way for the wildlife commission to raise funding is start requiring some form of gamelands use permit for everyone using gamelands properties.Why should the Sportsman and SportsWomen in NC shoulder the burden when the rest of the public isn't.

We should bear the Gamelands burden alone!!!

As soon as someone else starts adding money to the pot, they are going to want say how they are managed. You can only serve one master!

I have no objections to $50 fee for the Sportman license.
