New hunting license

[Hammerlane]

Read a report the other day that Michigan has changed the rules and fees
Anyone heard anything about it?

[burl]

Yup just picked this up last month...

[michigan maniac]

Yeah I read some stuff online about it,  basically everyone has to buy a "basic" license, which is a small game license, then you can buy specific tags, but all prices have gone up,

Here's the link http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10363_14518_65243-305249--,00.html

so now i have to buy a basic tag and a deer license just to deer hunt ?

Yup..

BUT. From my understanding.  The 76 dollars gives you all species fishing, small game, and basic licenses. So all in all not a bad deal. Everything went up this year.

Not quite sure how to perceive that cost structure..
I don't fish, but do sm. game and deer..    $21

Basically they are forcing everyone to buy a small game license even if you don't use it, then you have to buy your deer tags like normal, can buy doe tags, a buck tag, or your normal combo buck tag, they all just cost more,  then like said above the people who hunt and fish can buy the combo that gets you small game and fishing tags

 I wonder if the wild boars fall under the small game license?..lol

[Mudbuster]

I guess that means I'm gonna have to start smallgame hunting again. No point to waste a license that they are gonna FORCE me to buy

They are going to be doing this for the next five years. If in that five year span the D.N.R. doesnt get all the projects done that they want to all license prices go to $0
