I moved to Indiana after they had already stopped selling them Every year when I buy a hunting license, an archery deer, a firearm deer, a military refuge deer, an urban zone deer, and a few bonus antlerless tags, plus turkey tags and state waterfowl and upland tags, I figure the lifetime license would have saved me thousands!
got mine before they went up 708.00 for comp. hunt and fishing payed for itself long time ago. they can buy mine back for the right price and i'm sure they would never dream of paying what they would have to pay to get mine back.
Bought my son his for his birthday when he turned 18. Now no matter what else happens we both always have someplace we can go to hunt or shoot. No debating over it being worth the ridiculous cost of a license if we just wind up using it one day or every day, we can just go.
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
i paid 450ish for mine. probably the best money i ever spent. ive never bought a adult licence. i used up the youth licence system wich was pretty cheap. i went to buy tags my first adult year and was like "you got to be kidding me" so i bought the life time instid im not sure if mine has paid for itself or not. if it hasn't its close but im only 28 so im sure it will if it hasn't
