    Dang! Bargain is an understatement. That is some serious fun for only $40.

    $95 is a Sportsmans License here. Covers everything from fishing license, hunting license, trout stamp, waterfowl permit, two spring gobblers, two fall turkey permits, two fall archery turkey permits, two deer permits. You can do it all for less than a Benjamin.

    1. resident hunting = $17.50
    2. mandatory habitat stamp = $11.50
    3. spring turkey = $23.00

    So, about $52 for 1 turkey. On the upside, you can hunt fall turkey too.

    Well the tags are relativly inexpensive. Where you run into,(or out of!), the money here in Texas is having to pay for the place to hunt them. An average turkey hunt in Texas will run about $500-$750 for 3-4 days and 2 birds.
    (we get 4 tags). so if you don't own or lease land that holds birds its gonna cost you or you can join the crowds on Texas' minute amounts of public land. My last bird, a jake, was killed on public land.

    26$ turkey tag, you are allowed 2 but must buy a second tag at another $26 this is in addition to the General license fee.

    They are also season specific, so you can't buy a Spring tag and use it in fall...Fall is another 26$

    $60 in GA to hunt & fish anything for one year. Or $500 for a lifetime license (which I have) which covers it all except for the Federal Duck Stamp.

    It's all free for me now... I have a lifetime that has paid for itself multiple times.

    For residents it's your annual hunting license plus a $10 tag per bird. Same for Non-residents but their annual hunting license is much more expensive.
