Why do you need a hunting license?

Hunting licenses are legal requirements at the state level that not only help prevent illegal hunting and promote wildlife sustainability, but they also ensure that everyone gets the necessary training to hunt safely. In the U.S., hunting without a license can cost you thousands in fines and jail time.

What are the different types of hunting licenses?

The types of licenses offered vary by state. Here are some categories to consider:

• Resident vs. Non-resident licenses (non-residents tend to pay much more)
• Annual vs. one-time licenses
• Small game vs Big game tags
• Specialized hunt tags (for limited game like bear, turkey, etc.)
• Archery/Muzzleloader permits
• Combination licenses with fishing privileges

Who is eligible to get a hunting license?

Most people with a valid, government-issued ID above the age of 16 can obtain a hunting license (however, many states also allow junior hunters who can be as young as 12). You will need to provide a valid government-issued ID number or SSN. Senior citizens, juniors, and veterans get reduced fees.
