In Virginia, when you turn 65, you can get a lifetime hunting and fishing license for $20 each.
I am retired, on Social Security, and Medicare.
The only thing left for me to do is die. :D

    Here in Georgia you just walk in the store like you
    would do buying any hunt/fish license, prove your 65 yrs old, pay a $3 processing fee for the stores troubles, get the permits right there, no applying by application involved......it's good for life with no renewals....walk out and enjoy until "your" * expiration date arrives..... :lol:

    I get a discount, but no lifetime, and I don't get drawn anyway. On the good side, I can hunt rabbits with no license at all.

    In Pa. you need to get it renewed for a small fee. Fishing licenses are good for life if you qualify.

    Its something of a ripoff in VA. Even with the lifetime license I still have to purchase all the tags and stamps.

    However, landowners are not required to purchase anything when hunting on their own land. So I bought a couple places just for me to hunt. Now the problem is keeping out the tresspassers.

    You would think that after killing and eating the first 8 or 10 trespassers the rest would get the message...but Noooooo!

    I have a BBQ sauce recipe that is good on everything.
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    The Virginia permanent license is actually kind of pretty.

    If you think keeping trespassers off of hunting land is tough you ought to try living in a house by a lake or river. When I was living in East Tennessee I've come home to find a family having a picnic in my back yard before with their car parked in my driveway. I told my wife I wonder what they'd do if they came home and found us cooking out in their back yard.

    Inconsiderate * are every where. I've had them come by boat and use my dock to lay out in the sun and party on.

    If you give permission to one person they'll bring someone with them to fish and then the next time that other person will have people with them and they think it's public property and act pissed off when you run them off.

    Like you I just started killing them and using them for cut bait but the bad thing is the fish wouldn't even touch'em not even Carp. :D

    The states will do anything to keep licence sales up...

    In MO if you're 65+, you no longer need a hunt/fish license. Still have to buy deer/turkey tags. I own enough land to get a whole handful of those tags anyway. Only thing I need to buy is a trapping permit if I go off my place.

    Wasn't aware of your YouTube channel. What type of videos to you usually post?

    I have no idea what brought this on, but I can't see how an innocuous thread about lifetime hunting licenses can provoke such a response. Consider yourself warned.

    What video? Maybe I've got it blocked because it's part of someone's signature. If that's it, then there you go, block "signatures".
