That’s what I’ll do also. Or 2 or 3 year or whatever they have available. When my father-in-law and my dad got their senior lifetime it carried the trout stamp right along. They had no renewal on the trout stamp. My trout fishing buddy from town (just passed, r.i.p.) was only into his lifetime a couple of years. All he talked about for years was getting that lifetime. Blew past DICK’S today to pick my 2023 up today. Their computer and printer were down. Dicks at Dick’s to be expected. I’ll get it at the hardware store in the morning. I can do it online at home but I want the printout and my regs. book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Ketchum Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have had a senior lifetime license for about 18 years now. I still carry it on my fishing cap and it's faded and almost unreadable. When I bought it, I also got a laminated wallet license. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigassbass Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 In North Carolina use to be at 55 you could get a free lifetime license, then they moved it up to 65 (I think) then they did away with it all together. So I bought a lifetime license between 55-60 my age (can't remember how old I actually was) it cost 32 dollars for fresh and salt water. I haven't paid for a license in a long time! Best thing to do is buy your children and grandchildren a lifetime license when they are babies, it's cheaper that way. Yep I have a Senior Lifetime N.C. fishing license and I'm proud I do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I just renewed my Ontario (Canada) resident "sport fishing" license, at $80/3 years. I could have got the 3 yr. "conservation" fishing license (reduced limits for keeping most species of fish) for $45/3 years but prefer the increased limit for salmon and walleye, when opportunity arises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In and out in no time. $32.94 for 2023, I think it was up a few cents since last year. I’m getting it late and down to the last day of the year. I usually get it Dec. 1st. Give or take a day or so. We run from Jan. 1st. - Dec. 31st like the calendar year. New purchase or renewal comes/starts Dec. 1st. I’ll be 64 in May. Still have to wait for Senior Lifetime one more year. Thought it would have been 2 year wait but gal doing my license said it will be next year because I’ll be 65 in that year. I’ll have to see it to believe it. Not saying I don’t believe her BUT. I can’t wait until my birthday to buy my license, I’d be fishing illegal for too many days. I can’t take that chance nor do I want to. It’s all good regardless. Here in PA you don’t have to display your license on the outside anymore, but have to have it on your possession. I still display on my outside in a license holder.

About 55 on was back from grocery a bit ago. No wind. About the same tomorrow. Hard to believe with the deep freeze we were just in. The hard water we had will be gone. Suppose to rain Saturday and remain a bit warm for a few days. May help some duck hunting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigassbass Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 70 today in central N.C. just as warm tomorrow, I went to a pond and took the water temp 42 in the shallows, 48 in the deep and that was maybe 12'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Scott F Posted December 30, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2022 Senior lifetime license here in Indiana is $23. Yearly is only $3. If you last until age 79, you no longer need a license. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldstar225 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Arkansas basic fishing license is $10.50, $5.00 more for the trout stamp. Being retired military I was able to get a lifetime license for $10.50 at age 60. All others are able to get the lifetime license at 65 for the same price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably about as cold as NW PA on dale hollow haha. The Cumberland plateau is one heck of a micro climate as you know, colder than surrounding areas 100% of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a whole different world here than Philly area most times. We used to almost always ride motocross in Wilmington, DE all winter because it stayed more mild there. Weather is determined here by the mountain. Not as bad as NW pa though. You can keep that. @GaryH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User DitchPanda Posted December 31, 2022 Super User Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yearly resident here in Iowa is $22. I bought the 3 year angler special for $62...and for $6 extra I upgraded from a paper license to a hard card similar to a drivers license. So $68 for 3 years...just under $23 a year. I for sure fish 100 times a year..that's cheap entertainment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fir3hawk Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Just under $1000 for a lifetime hunt & fishing license in KS. Bought it a year or two ago. I just hate how they nickel and dime you, because I still have to buy a state and federal duck stamp, trout permit if I want to trout fish, boat registration, park vehicle passes to launch the boat in a state park, and and “private lake” fees if I want to fish a couple county owned lakes. When I did the math, a lifetime would pay itself off in about 18 years. But we also know permit prices will go up 5, 10, 15 years down the road. I should’ve done it sooner than ~32, but I always feared I’d buy one then move out of state or get too busy and not have time to fish or hunt, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
