Poll- Hunters: Do You Have Lifetime Hunting License?

[imhntn]

Mine was a Christmas gift from my parents the first year I was married. It has been a wonderful gift that keeps on giving.

Uncle bought me a combo when I was a Jr or soph in b4 they went from 400 to 525 and told me it was my early graduation present so I better finish school or he was gonna whip my ass

Yes.

1-5. Was younger. Literally saved coins until I was able to buy it.

 

[Sampson]

Absolutely the best gift I've ever received. It's paid for it self several times over as I hunt all three deer seasons in oklahoma. Will be buying the lifetime for my kids this year.

I bought mine sometime around 1977 or 78 for 125 dollars. Since then I bought my grandsons, my sons, and my wife's.

Yes, I have the combo for $400. And bought my two sons combination when both were babies for $525.. Money well spent........

My boy is 5, I think I'm just gonna go ahead and buy his now or at least before it goes up again.

No, don't have one and am not sure it would be beneficial for me to get one now.

Not saying your old, but if you are: http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/license/seniorlifelist.pdf

Time value of money (inflation) would tell you to wait until your kids need licenses or they are about to go up. That's what I am doing for both my boys! YMMV

Or they go away. It's been discussed more than once.

Not as much as some think.
I brought this up with the wildlife department and I was told they'd never do away with the lifetime license. Not a chance!
Their reasoning is they make way to much money off of them.
They explained how federal money is given based off of number of registered hunters in the state. That the federal money far exceeds what they lose in the yearly sale.
IIRC I've brought that conversation up here before.
