Been awaiting the age for free licenses, tags, for awhile. Recall FIL getting a packet of licenses and tags in the mail. Checked a month ago to see if I had a current fishing license. I do, so didn't check then. Just now, see hunting/fishing NOT free unless you were born in 1937 or before ! A rather empty gift then I say. Now for 66 yrs old to back to then, a reduced cost in place. Guessing, a big number age group about to hit, scared them. Gotta check Penn next. Penn lottery commercials always said their lottery was to support seniors. Remember an Uncle saying that was a big fat lie. Hoping their F&G folks still decent to seniors.

Here in Louisiana, seniors pay $5 for all state hunting and fishing licenses for the year.
I think that is a good deal. We get 6 deer tags.

In Arkansas hunting and fishing license is free at age 65. So far that's the only good thing I've noticed about gettin' old...  |

Now just how many hunt at that age anyway. |

In Missouri I hunt and fish for free except for deer tags but, I'm a property owner and haven't bought a deer tag since 1986. That was until a few years ago. Then the geniuses at MDC decided you had to "register your property' with them. What the heck? Are they too stupid to look at county records? Nevermind, I know the answer to that one. I'm not registering my property with anyone. All that is public information.
Those 65 and over do have to buy deer tags, turkey tags and trout stamps if you're going to keep the nasty things. I think a migratory stamp might also have to be purchased if one hunts waterfowl and dove. I don't like waterfowl hunting and if I wanted to eat a nasty dove I have enough locals living off my bird feeder to satisfy that meager appetite so I ain't buyin' a stamp.

A resident Senior hunting license is $7 in TX, which isn't bad. I am a 100% disabled veteran, and I get a free hunting and fishing Super Combo license every year that includes everything except a federal duck stamp:
Resident hunting license
Resident fishing license
Archery endorsement
Freshwater fishing endorsement
Saltwater fishing endorsement with a red drum tag
Upland game bird endorsement
Migratory game bird endorsement

My first job out of college, I paid for Lasik, then bought a Texas Lifetime Hunting license. That was over 20 years ago. I think I figured it up at the time as free licenses for life after 17 years. IIRC, a lifetime license was around $600 then, it's $1000 now, which still works out to a 25.6 years for it to pay for itself - and that is if the price of a license never goes up.

It's getting screwed, as in I was looking forward to it being FREE, as was for my Dad and FIL, and many uncles. Ticked over a B-Day, retired, and pulled up the website to see how to get, FREE, and found it had been bumped well out into the 80yr old range. How many 80+ yr old grouse hunters and steelheaders do we know ?

Yessir, "getting screwed" is an appropriate perspective. Spend your life as a devoted and dedicated sponsor/contributor/enabler of wildlife management with the promise of not having to pay for a license the last few years you MIGHT be able to wander out there and hunt...
Ohio is a greedy state when it comes to revenue, so it does not surprise me.
If you leave money in a SAVINGS account (everyone gets the idea of SAVINGS), and don't take any out for a year, the State starts taking money out of that account, assuming it's abandoned. I noticed this spring that my bank was taking money out of an account I hadn't withdrawn from in a few years and had to start taking $5/month out to send to the State. Note that putting money INTO the account does not stop the State from claiming it as "dormant." like in you DIED, so now its THEIRS.

Rickierevenge, thanks for the question. My reasoning was left out.
