If the state would have left the cash alone and used the money properly they would probably still be selling them but someone in the State house dipped into the account and it stopped paying for itself. That's what I was told, but the original concept was for the interest to pay a steady income to the DNR but that doesn't work if the money is not there
if anyone knows that I'm wrong or they have a link to why they don't sell them let me know
The DNR removed the option for a lifetime hunting license due to the fact that the DNR lost funds with every lifetime license purchased. When a hunter purchases individual licenses the DNR keeps X amount of money out of the total of each license to fund habit, hunter education, etc. So if you buy 3 deer permits, a small game and a stamp, the DNR receives X amount multiplied by 5. When a hunter purchases a lifetime license, the DNR only gets the money one time. The DNR dropped the license so that they could maintain a yearly flow of money.
