Biggest regret I have when it comes to anything hunting/fishing related is not buying the lifetime license before I moved out of state. I’ve already paid for a couple lifetimes in nonresident license fees over the years. I’ll pony up again this year. I’ve got the majority of my family in Bama and I will want to go hunting while I’m back in the area. Is what it is. I hunt primarily public land when I come back to Bama so chancing it by not buying a license just isn’t a smart idea. And I’m under no illusion that it will get any cheaper. Every state is increasing fees, even on the residents. Hunters in general are so much more mobile now so states are going to do all they can to raise revenue off the out of state hunting trend. If the number of out of state hunters ever dropped dramatically, maybe you’d see some change but I just don’t think the numbers will get that low.
