Louisiana does, even for NRs.Agh... why. If we’re going to be handing out free licenses why don’t we do it for the 18 and under crowd. Everyone please remember world owes you nothing.

I thought the same thing reading some responses on the first page.Boy this is effing stupid.
...and we wonder why hunter numbers continue to decline?
Yeah, real mystery.
If your 60 or 65 and you can’t afford a full price license that’s on you. If the 3R’s are as important as everyone says they are. Reduce license cost 14 and under to near nothing, 15-18 slightly above that. Grandpa could take all his grandkids out for damn near nothing. Is it about him filling a tag or the kids?
While we all hope to be kicking a$$ and taking names at 65 one should be honest that most of your hunting days are behind you.
Oh, so its not as simple as a single issue...who would of guessed?Any data to support the theory that hunting decline is due to life long hunters with solid financial footing hitting 65 and not wanting to pay full share of license fees? Or might it be a lack of land access, a more urban society, a drop in "family traditions", increase in alternative outdoor activities vying for attention, high cost of entry for new hunters, etc? I agree the numbers of a particular generation are going down, but more likely physical infirmities and death are more a factor than resident license fees in that demographic.
You're the one who raised it as a major issue, not me. But as always you will dodge, pivot and recast every discussion to ensure you are "always right" - I expected nothing less. As for contributions - I sleep well at night.Oh, so its not as simple as a single issue...who would of guessed?
You don't solve a complex problem by focusing on one part of it...you fix the parts you can.
The way I approach these problems, pluck the low hanging fruit first. If reduced price tags for youth tags are taking away a barrier, do it, you're solving a piece of the problem.
If keeping older hunters active in hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities is because they pay less for their tags, do it, you're solving a piece of the problem.
If guys can afford to pay more for things like access, direct donations to NGO's, Game and Fish, etc. and aren't...YOU'RE part of the problem, not solving one.

No worries from me, if your dropping animals left and right at 65 good for you. Just don’t whine that a reduced rate is needed for you to stay in the game. Also, don’t strawman that reduced rates for the over 60 crowd is important to the 3R’s. At that age you’re going to do it because you love to do it or to pass on your knowledge and Traditions to others.I would much rather focus the 3R’s on the 21 and under crowd. Get them to hunt and enjoy the outdoors at that age and hope they do so for the remainder of their lives.I totally agree, and since everyone's chances of being able to kick ass and take names hunting until then isn't very good, and they likely wont fill their tags anyway, why the big whine fest by you and others that they get to stay in the game at a reduced rate?
You afraid of some guy living on SS at age 65 getting a reduced price tag outcompeting you?
Lots of people will find something to complain about no matter what...prime example this with "issue".
