$209.16

Damn, it's that time of year when I have to renew all my
fishing licenses. I bought non-resident fishing licenses
and trout stamps in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota plus
fishing and hunting resident licenses in Illinois and the
bill came to $209.16. And I still have to buy the federal
waterfowl stamp.

I'm not complaining, just wondering how in the hell folks
can afford this fishing and hunting habit.

(could be worse, as I recall I paid just as much for the
combination of non-resident Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and
Yellowstone.)

I don't blame you for your coern about you fishing expenses - a little
For MT Idaho and Wyoming and Alaska this yr I will have spent as much or
more
But
the price of gasoline is going to hurt a whole LOT more

why do you need a waterfowl stamp?


yes, the fees add up out here too

don't quote me, and I'm too lazy to find them all and check, but I think I
spent about $300 for Cal, Idaho, Montana, YNP fishing, YNP yearly entrance

I'm not complaining either ...

Ducks and geese. Southern Illinois has plenty of good
waterfowl hunting opportunities from November to March.
Ducks early, Canada Geese in the middle of the season
and then Snow Geese into March.

The way I fish, most states require me to get one.

Hehe, I knew what the Duck Stamp is for but somehow thought you need it to
fish !!

If your $209.16 includes hunting, you're getting a great deal compared to
out here.

as I recall ... YNP fishing = $35
yearly pass to all NP = $50
YNP floating craft = $5/ day or maybe $25 season

The yearly pass into the Park is going up, I'm pretty sure I read that.

Virginia when I was a kid
