I knew someone would make a comment about my age! But the facts don't lie. Combination will cost me 35.00 if the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife doesn't increase the cost.
I have been hauling my son around deer and elk hunting (on opening day) since he was 14, he is now 32 so I figure wait one more year and then its my turn, LOL
I bought my combo license and Huckleberry 75's in 1980 when they were $225.00/ The next day they jumped to I think $350.00. Huckleberry was 5 yo then. We has gotten a pretty good return on our money I would say.
Yep lifetime license still a DEAL even at current price. I still can't believe they haven't done away with it. They are taking a whipping on annual license fees vs what piddly amount of interest they make on the pool. Their was serious talk when I was in college back in the early 2000's of doing away with it.
Yes Yes I realize you "pay" after you die or quit hunting cuz the way the system works. But when you look at the numbers on a year to year basis ODWC is losing money hand over fist as compared to selling every resident hunter tags every single year.
I will say MAYBE just maybe the lifetime license interest money might and I mean might save Oklahoma from the fate other states will face as the number of licensed hunters continues to fall. It certainly may provide money that many western states do not have because they never sold lifetime license and put it away properly. This is all assuming the number of licensed hunters continues to decline. Personally I don't see anyway it wont with baby boomers dying and the current generations overall lack of interest in hunting, but things can change!

I got my lifetime in 05 but the Choctaws have recently started this.
Not sure what other tribes are offering but it may help some people out.
