As part of the state’s budget the legislature will decide whether or not hunting, fishing and trapping license fees will be increased. The proposal hikes fishing licenses from $19 to $29. The proposal comes from the DEC and all money collected stays with the conservation fund which stocks fish, surveys land and raises pheasants.

The state will once again dip into the new fees for hunting and fishing licences. It never stopped them before and it won’t stop them now. Eventually people will just quit fishing and hunting. I hate to give it up, but there are too many other new taxes and fees to pay.
Not only did they raise the fee for licenses but they also raised the age for reduced rate for retires from 65 to 69. That really sucks
