A friend called my today and said that two people that dont know one another told him that Indiana was gonna sell the Lifetime Hunting License again. He went on to say that both parties were quoting them at $1185 I have had one for years, just wondering if its true that they are coming back.

First that I have neard about it , but I doubt it very seriously. The DNR has talked about a "sportsman's license" that would be like a lifetime license only on a yearly renewable basis. |

I'll believe it when I see it. It won't happen, in other words.
The DNR looses money with every LL purchased. After 15 years, the licenses do NOT count for the Pittman-Robinson (if that's the right name???) federal dollars.
They were a good deal when they were here, but they won't be back. EVER. I do, however, hope the DNR will offer a similiar comprehensive yearly "sportsmans" license.....

I would like to see the lifetime license brought back. I was not hunting when they did away with it but I sure would jump on it if they brought it back.

I hate to say it but I am sure they will not bring them back either..... like danf said they lose too much money with them.... and I was always to cheap to buy one... then when I decided it was time to get one they were gone......

I would bet that they don't either.
Back when I got mine 23 years ago, it paid itself off (if you hunted everything) in like 5 years.

I emailed them about it and this is what they wrote back to me:
The Indiana General Assembly (state legislature) creates the hunting,
fishing and trapping license types in state law (Indiana Code), and the
DNR is supportive of changes to these laws governing hunting licenses to
provide a Sportsman's Bundle that includes a wild turkey license, deer
firearm license, small game hunting license and game bird habitat stamp
at a discounted rate.
Additionally, state law (Indiana Code) does not allow the DNR to sell
lifetime licenses. The Indiana General Assembly (state legislature)
would have to change the law to allow them to be sold. You can contact
one of your state legislators if you would like this law changed.
I also asked about a single buck tag for all seasons and she said she had to forward that one to the deer biologist and he has never wrote me back.

I got my LTL at 21 when I graduated college. Have been hunting every weapon, every season ever since. I will turn 28 tommorow. Best $550 my parents ever spent on me! I hope they come back. They are a steal even at $1200 or the like for most young or middle age serious hunters. The DNR looses money with every LL purchased. After 15 years, the licenses do NOT count for the Pittman-Robinson (if that's the right name???) federal dollars. They were a good deal when they were here, but they won't be back. EVER. I do, however, hope the DNR will offer a similiar comprehensive yearly "sportsmans" license..... |
