Just spent $125 for a 10/day nonresident hunting license for waterfowl including a $13 state duck stamp. Ill hunt one day next week with my three sons who have also bought licenses. Ill shoot my 10 gauge Parker with handloaded bismuth shot ($150 for 10 lbs). This is all my choice but I cant help feel Ive been bent over by some Great Oz. Im 58 and my first hunting+fishing license was $12. You did not need a license until you were 13. Its becoming a rich mans activity.
