Made my contribution..... 2026 Maybe not...!!!

in PA , I can Hunt coyotes with my regular hunting license , $20.97, during a big game season , "IF" I have an unused tag for this season / game animal . so to shoot a coyote during archery season , I need an Archery license , $16.97 . PA sells a furtakers license that is needed for hunting the other furbearer animals , and to hunt coyotes out of a big game season . the furtaker license , $20.97 is required for trapping anything . PA also has a Bobcat permit $6.97 , and a Fisher permit , $6.97 .these permits allow the trapper to keep one of each . these are Adult Resident prices .

June of 2027 I'll turn 65 years old . at 65 I can buy a lifetime "combo " license . I "THINK" this combo includes everything except Doe license , and Migratory bird . the Combo price is $101.97

PA just kind of nickel and dimes a hunter to gather up the licenses he wants .
Jim i got the lifetime combo at 64 because i would turn 65 during the license year.
 
I was involved with a contractor today to hav some work done on my house and the talk evolved into something interesting. I never knew that big game hunters from the USA are charged higher prices to hunt and higher trophy fees that Europeans.. WTF??? I didn't ask what the higher percentage cost was and although it saddens me, they can stick their safari where the sun don't shine and I won't lose any sleep over the situation.

I'll have to check on this . my birthday is June 27 . new licenses go on sale , I think , July 1 . maybe I can get my lifetime this year ??


EDIT to add ;

in your second post , the link , it says birthday before June 30 . so it looks like I'm eligible this year . thank you for pointing this out to me .
