I did till Stitt ended the agreement with the tribes. Funny thing is, I havent bought an annual license since. I always got one from the tribe whether I hunted or not. So he could have got the money from the discounted permit I never used, or get nothing at all. So nothing at all it is.
Yes
6 years ( started hunting at 15 and purchased lifetime at 21 ).
More importantly I purchased my son's lifetime when he was 2, the last year you could get a combo for $400. Some may consider this a gamble, but with confidence, I called it then and today an investment and money well spent.
