Increased Hunting and Fishing Licenses Costs Proposed

[T. MIKE SMITH]

Sorry but $100 is not that much to hunt- I poop that much off on a lot of stuff less important. When I had to live in Texas for work, but knew I would be coming back to hunt and fish several times a year- I bought a lifetime out of state license cause it is totally worth it to me.

Out of state deer licenses have increased at least twice since 2002.

License vs tags aren't the same for residents.

Glad I bought my lifetime combo in 1981. It's paid for!!!

Cheap, huh?!?
Currently, to hunt archery, muzzleloader, and rifle seasons, my bill is $909. An Oklahoma hunter coming to TX pays $315.

Ill be down there in November with $315, have me a stand ready!!!

While the license is cheaper access to land in Texas is much more expensive. Thus the reason all the Texans come up here to lease. (Some like yourself even buy)

The price depends on what part of TX you want hunt, but I don’t know anyone that hunts in Oklahoma because their lease is cheaper.

The focus here seems to be that Texans are the only out of staters that come to Oklahoma to hunt, but @kwaynem has told me that Osage county fills up with Kansas residents. I’m fairly confident that’s not the only place they hunt.

I'm almost ready to let anyone not local to kill whatever they want. The ignorant entitled ass that hunts my fence line has pretty much erased everything I have tried to accomplish with mature bucks. Doesn't own any land but his parents do. Doesn't want to hunt it cause too many hunters around it.

That’s a common problem. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

I'm sure it's not the only place, but Kaw is an absolute KS hunter magnet.

make the tags here in OK harder to get for out of staters, change to a lottery 1 tag system.
