    Average Joe caught my drift, we paid so you friendly residents didn’t have to. Now get a stick and beat yourselves up! And to that guy complaining about non-res deer license fees here in Iowa, we don’t have any deer anymore. the MN guys came and shot them all. Now stay away from my deer.

    on a side note, I really think that if states really took tourism seriously they should have reduced non-resident fees. After all who pumps more money into the local economy? A resident going up to some lake for an afternoon of fishing, or the traveler who will spend a long weekend or even a week buying gas, groceries, lodging, restaurant meals, and bait? This should be true with all states who are after the tourism buck. (no pun intended!)

    I’m sorry, I guess Minnesota deer hunters are better at deer hunting than you Iowa guys.

    sure got me there! while you guys hunt, we just spread out the picnic blanket, have a glass of wine and fresh fruit, then pull out the shotgun and mow down some supper. I’m really not too far off from my hunting experience.
    but I rarely hunt those things anyway.

    Lifetime licenses for kids are great as long as your kids decide to live in the state!!

    For some that is not a forgone conclusion!

    Did they change that rule. When the lifetime first came out, I thought it was good no matter if you moved away.

    If you move away the lic. is still good. Just really hard to cast far enough to reach the water.

    Resident fees last went up in 2002. There have been 3 increases in the last 20 years.

    My lifetime renewal for sportsman licence cost me the same as last year…..$0, so i guess it wasnt too bad. But on the other hand, my harpooning license went from $17 to $5.. (It is about time!) So I am not complaining!

    Don’t worry Chomps, there aren’t any deer in MN either

    During all those years I hunted in MN while I was in college, I never saw a single deer

    So other than the spending time with my dad and some good friends, it was a waste of money

    I dunno, even though I live in Sconnie, 95% of my time spent fishing is in MN
